'MongoDb: How to import dump data from .gz file?

I want to import dump data from my .gz file.

Location of file is home/Alex/Documents/Abc/dump.gz and the name of db is "Alex".

I have tried mongorestore --gzip --db "Alex" /home/Alex/Documents/Abc/dump.gz

But it shows error: 

 2018-10-31T12:54:58.359+0530   the --db and --collection args should 
 only be used when restoring from a BSON file. Other uses are 
 deprecated and will not exist in the future; use --nsInclude instead
 2018-10-31T12:54:58.359+0530   Failed: file 
 /home/Alex/Documents/Abc/dump.gz does not have .bson extension.

How can I import it?

Solution 1:[1]

This is what worked for me in the latest versions (100.5.1) of mongodump.

mongorestore --uri=<CONNECTION_URI> --gzip --archive=<ARCHIVE_NAME> --nsFrom "<SOURCE_DB_NAME>.*" --nsTo "<DEST_DB_NAME>.*"

Solution 2:[2]

Unpack .tgz files and restore the DB

tar zxvf fileNameHere.tgz

mongorestore --port 27017 -u="username" -p="password" --authenticationDatabase admin /bacup_path
