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

Try the getting started tutorial.

Next, read the guide or the reference documentation at http://docs.meteor.com/.

On Windows, simply go to https://www.meteor.com/install and use the Windows installer.

On Linux/macOS, use this line:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

Create a project:

meteor create try-meteor

Run it:

cd try-meteor
meteor

If you're interested in developing Meteor itself, or running unreleased, bleeding-edge code, please refer to the details found in Development.md.

To find more information about contributing to Meteor (whether fixing bugs or adding features), please see Contributing.md.

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

On Windows, just run the uninstaller from your Control Panel.
