Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web
applications.

With Meteor you write apps:

* in modern JavaScript
* that send data over the wire, rather than HTML
* using your choice of popular open-source libraries

Try a getting started tutorial:
 * [React](https://react-tutorial.meteor.com)
 * [Blaze](https://blaze-tutorial.meteor.com/)
 * [Angular](https://www.meteor.com/tutorials/angular/creating-an-app)
 * [Vue](https://vue-tutorial.meteor.com/)
 * [Svelte](https://svelte-tutorial.meteor.com/)

Next, read the [guide](https://guide.meteor.com) and the [documentation](https://docs.meteor.com/).

## Uninstalling Meteor

Aside from a short launcher shell script, Meteor installs itself inside your
home directory. To uninstall Meteor, run:

```bash
rm -rf ~/.meteor/
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor
```

On Windows, [read here](npm-packages/meteor-installer/README.md).
