mongoimport -h localhost:3030 --db meteor --collection brugere --type json --file /brugere.json

Have you installed MongoDB?

Is the path in your $env:PATH?

Note that MongoDB do not recommend mongoimport:

WARNING

Avoid using mongoimport and mongoexport for full instance production backups. They do not reliably preserve all rich BSON data types, because JSON can only represent a subset of the types supported by BSON. Use mongodump and mongorestore as described in MongoDB Backup Methods for this kind of functionality.

What is the best way to export my old mySQL datase and import it into my new mongodb?

I don’t think there’s anything stopping you using mongoimport as long as you’re aware of its shortcomings.
