I am doing client side field level encryption, But while connection getting this error “MongoError: Unable to connect to mongocryptd, please make sure it is running or in your PATH for auto-spawn”, How to solve this problem?!

Looks like mongocryptd executable is not in your $PATH
Please check and update if it is missing

Thanks, now it’s working. Earlier I thought since I am encrypting the data at MongoDB cluster so mongocryptd has to be available from their end. But later got to know this has to be run in the client application.
