Quick start!

Meteor supports OS X, Windows, and Linux.

On Windows? Download the official Meteor installer here.

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

$ 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:

$ meteor create myapp

Run it locally:

$ 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):

$ meteor deploy myapp.meteor.com
