Install and Set Up Mongoose - Broken Link

When I go to this exercise the following link is present:

“Follow this tutorial to set up a hosted database on MongoDB Atlas.”

However, the above link is broken. it takes me to “404 Page not found”. Does anyone know the correct link or what has happened here?

Also, I followed two youtube videos from Ganesh H (July 2020) where he sets up mongodb and completes this challenge as it was at that time but using glitch. I have followed Ganesh but tried to solve with repl.it. The third test is an error claiming that I have not connected. I am hesitant to spend anymore time on this one as repl.it has not worked well for me for the “Basic node and express exercises”. I have only been able to submit 9 of 12 exercises successfully.

Welcome, andrew.

This is a known issue: Dead Link in Curriculum (Install and Set Up Mongoose) · Issue #41097 · freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp (github.com)

Unfortunately, it is the weekend, so I would recommend you check back here, sometime tomorrow or Tuesday. I would assume it will be sorted by then.

Otherwise, here is the old guide we had, before the platform was restructured:
freeCodeCamp/index.md at main · freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp (github.com)

Hope this helps
