## Step 4

Once you select your server, you need to configure how Petio will connect to your database. You will either use the self-hosted MongoDB instructions or the remote hosted MongoDB database instructions for your OS.

* If you are using the MongoDB Remotely option click on `mongo://` to switch it to `mongo+srv://` and copy the connection string from Atlas, without the `mongo+srv://` and `/test`. 
* Replace the `<password>` with your password. The syntax should be user:<password@cluster.mongodb.net>.
  * If your password contains any special characters you should encode it using [URLEncoder](https://www.urlencoder.org/).

## Step 5

If you configured everything correctly, the last screen should look like this.
