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.

Install

Install required packages:

sudo pkg install bash ca_root_nss curl expat gettext-runtime git-lite gmake indexinfo libevent2 libffi mongodb node npm pcre perl5 python2 python27 snappy v8

Install Meteor:

git clone git://github.com/yonas/meteor-freebsd.git
sudo mv meteor-freebsd /usr/local/share/meteor
sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/meteor/meteor /usr/local/bin/meteor

Create and launch an app

meteor create myapp
cd myapp
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.
