+## Installation of the Database
+
+Since the TD, Energy and Dependability forecasts are produced "on the fly", the Forecasting Toolbox does not require a running database instance to be functional. However, in case you require access to previously produced forecasting results, a database dedicated to store the output of the Forecasting web services might be of help. In that case, MongoDB is a well-suited option for the purposes of the Forecasting Toolbox.
+
+To quickly install a MongoDB using Docker, open cmd and execute the following command:
+```bash
+sudo docker run --detach  \
+  -p 27017:27017  \
+  --name mongodb  \
+  --volume /home/<user_name>/Desktop/mongo_data:/data/db  \
+  mongo
+```
+This command will generate and run a MongoDB Docker Container named *mongodb*, which will serve as the Forecasting Toolbox dedicated DB.
