## Quick start!

Meteor supports [OS X, Windows, and Linux](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Supported-Platforms).

On Windows?  [Download the official Meteor installer here](https://install.meteor.com/windows).

On OS X or Linux?  Install the latest official Meteor release from your terminal:

```bash
$ curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
```

The Windows installer supports Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows Server
2008, and Windows Server 2012.  The command line installer supports Mac OS X
10.7 (Lion) and above, and Linux on x86 and x86_64 architectures.

Once you've installed Meteor, create a project:

```bash
meteor create myapp
```

Run it locally:

```bash
cd myapp
meteor
# Meteor server running on: http://localhost:3000/
```

Then, open a new terminal tab and unleash it on the world (on a free server we provide):

```bash
meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com
```
