Windows has no concept of the executable bit so it is not applied by the `fstream` `Reader` when building the tarball which is used in both `meteor build` and `meteor deploy`. For Windows users, this causes important scripts (such as `node-pre-gyp`) to not be executable when the bundles are deployed to Unix platforms (such as Galaxy). To avoid giving every file executable bits, this applies an executable bit to the file only if it has read permission (something Windows _is_ aware of) and if it is in a location that Node bin links are typically placed, the `/node_modules/.bin/` directories.
Meteor
Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.
With Meteor you write apps:
- in pure JavaScript
- that send data over the wire, rather than HTML
- using your choice of popular open-source libraries
Try the getting started tutorial.
Next, read the guide or the reference documentation at http://docs.meteor.com/.
Quick Start
On Windows, simply go to https://www.meteor.com/install and use the Windows installer.
On Linux/macOS, use this line:
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
Create a project:
meteor create try-meteor
Run it:
cd try-meteor
meteor
Slow Start (for developers)
If you're interested in developing Meteor itself, or running unreleased, bleeding-edge code, please refer to the details found in Development.md.
To find more information about contributing to Meteor (whether fixing bugs or adding features), please see Contributing.md.
Uninstalling Meteor
Aside from a short launcher shell script, Meteor installs itself inside your home directory. To uninstall Meteor, run:
rm -rf ~/.meteor/
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor
On Windows, just run the uninstaller from your Control Panel.
