Although we thought the upgrade from `npm` 3.10.9 to 4.1.2 was worthwhile and safe, this breaking change proved problematic: https://github.com/npm/npm/blob/latest/CHANGELOG.md#no-more-partial-shrinkwraps-breaking Specifically, if a Meteor package calls `Npm.depends` in a way that disagrees with the contents of `.npm/package/npm-shrinkwrap.json` file, Meteor will create a partial shrinkwrap file in order to install the correct top-level npm dependencies, but transitive dependencies of the package will no longer be installed. This was fixed in Meteor 1.4.2.7 by reverting the upgrade of npm, but Meteor 1.4.3.1 will keep npm@4.1.2 and fix the consequences.
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 want to run on the bleeding edge, or help contribute to Meteor, you can run Meteor directly from a Git checkout using these steps:
-
Clone from GitHub
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/meteor/meteor.git $ cd meteorImportant note about Git submodules!
This repository uses Git submodules. If you clone without the
--recursiveflag, re-fetch withgit pullor experience "Depending on unknown package" errors, run the following in the repository root to sync things up again:$ git submodule update --init --recursive -
(Optional) Compile dependencies
This optional step requires a C and C++ compiler, autotools, and scons. If this step is skipped, Meteor will simply download pre-built binaries.
To build everything from scratch (
node,npm,mongodb, etc.) run the following:$ ./scripts/generate-dev-bundle.sh # OPTIONAL! -
Run a Meteor command to install dependencies
If you did not compile dependencies above, this will also download the binaries.
$ ./meteor --help -
Ready to Go!
Your local Meteor checkout is now ready to use! You can use this
./meteoranywhere you would normally call the systemmeteor. For example,:$ cd my-app/ $ /path/to/meteor-checkout/meteor runNote: When running from a
gitcheckout, you cannot pin apps to specific Meteor releases or change the release using--release.
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.
