I've just installed the MongoDB version 5.0 CLI tools on my workstation.

But now when I go to restore a database like I've always done I get an error:

mongorestore
mongorestore : The term 'mongorestore' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if
a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ mongorestore
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (mongorestore:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

If I list the MongoDB 5.0 bin directory this is what I see:

 Directory: D:\MongoDB\Server\5.0\bin

I'm using Windows 10. What happened to my trusty mongorestore and mongoimport commands? They are no longer available under version 5. How can I restore a database under MongoDB version 5.0.1?

Excerpt from - https://docs.mongodb.com/database-tools/

Starting with MongoDB 4.4, the MongoDB Database Tools are now released separately from the MongoDB Server and use their own versioning, with an initial version of 100.0.0.

Previously, these tools were released alongside the MongoDB Server and used matching versioning.
