# 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
|
|
|
|
Documentation is available at http://docs.meteor.com/.
|
|
|
|
Try the getting started [tutorial](https://www.meteor.com/try).
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
Install Meteor:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
meteor create try-meteor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd try-meteor
|
|
meteor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Deploy it to the world, for free:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
meteor deploy try-meteor.meteor.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Slow Start (for developers)
|
|
|
|
If you want to run on the bleeding edge, or help develop Meteor, you
|
|
can run Meteor directly from a git checkout.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone git://github.com/meteor/meteor.git
|
|
cd meteor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're the sort of person who likes to build everything from scratch,
|
|
you can build all the Meteor dependencies (node.js, npm, mongodb, etc)
|
|
with the provided script. This requires git, a C and C++ compiler,
|
|
autotools, and scons. If you do not run this script, Meteor will
|
|
automatically download pre-compiled binaries when you first run it.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# OPTIONAL
|
|
./scripts/generate-dev-bundle.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can run meteor directly from the checkout (if you did not
|
|
build the dependency bundle above, this will take a few moments to
|
|
download a pre-build version).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./meteor --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From your checkout, you can read the docs locally. The `/docs` directory is a
|
|
meteor application, so simply change into the `/docs` directory and launch
|
|
the app:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd docs/
|
|
../meteor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll then be able to read the docs locally in your browser at
|
|
`http://localhost:3000/`.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you run Meteor from a git checkout, you cannot pin apps to specific
|
|
Meteor releases or run using different Meteor releases using `--release`.
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
```
|
|
