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/

Installing on a Raspberry Pi device

Download the Raspbian Wheezy armhf Raspberry Pi minimal image and put it on a 1+ GB SD card: http://www.linuxsystems.it/raspbian-wheezy-armhf-raspberry-pi-minimal-image/

Start up the OS on the device using the SD card you built

Install packages required by fibers and Meteor:

apt-get update
apt-get install python make g++ curl

Install Meteor:

mkdir /opt/meteor
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/IGx89/meteor.git
cd meteor/scripts
./generate-dev-bundle.sh
cd ..
./meteor

To add Meteor to your PATH, run nano /etc/profile and then put the following right before the export PATH line:

# add Meteor to path
PATH="$PATH:/opt/meteor"

Log out of the terminal session and go back in, to make the PATH change take effect

Setup mongodb (change to address of a mongo database running on a different computer -- doesn't support running locally yet):

export MONGO_URL=mongodb://192.168.1.108:27017/todos

Create and run a Meteor app:

mkdir ~/apps
cd apps
meteor create --example todos
cd todos
meteor

Todo

  • Implement support for running mongodb locally
