How to restore dump backup in mongodb

I have restore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar file, I am restoring it in the MongoDB database

tried these commands

mongodump –db test –gzip –archive=restore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar

mongodump –db test –archive=restore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar

mongodump –host localhost –port 27017 –db test –gzip –archive=restore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar

mongorestore –drop C:Usersrustamrestore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar.gz -v

error => Failed: file C:Usersrustamrestore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar.gz does not have
.bson extension

I also tried to convert this file to bson by the command

bsondump –outFile=C:Usersrustamrestore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar.gz coll.bson

Can anyone please tell me what should I do to restore the database?

Thanks in advance for any comment or answer.

    After spending a lot of time on it finally I got the solution

    1. Extract the tar file
2. Run the below command

mongod --port your_port --dbpath your_extracted_tar_folder

note: port is optional, it will run 27027 default port 
3. Go and connect on the same port that you pass

    1. Extract the archive file using tar -xvf restore-63bbdc996664dc2524cce24d.tar
    2. Use mongorestore --db test --drop <path/to/extracted/bson/files> to restore the dump.

    Keep in mind that this command will drop any existing collections in that database before restoring, so make sure you have taken necessary backups.
