This should mean that you can access the package server from behind a corporate firewall. I tested this by setting up a Linux machine that doesn't have access to packages.meteor.com: $ sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d 54.225.216.115 -j DROP $ sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d 184.72.252.20 -j DROP $ sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d 23.23.114.56 -j DROP I confirmed that these commands both fail: $ curl https://packages.meteor.com/ $ ./meteor search asdf # when it needs to sync first I bought a proxy server from Proxy Bonanza and confirmed that setting the environment variable HTTPS_PROXY to https://PROXYUSERNAME:PROXYPASSWORD@PROXYIP:PROXYPORT/ made both of the commands above succeed. Fixes #2515.
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/
Quick Start
Install Meteor:
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
Create a project:
meteor create try-meteor
Run it:
cd try-meteor
meteor
Deploy it to the world, for free:
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.
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.
# 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).
./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:
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:
rm -rf ~/.meteor/
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor
