I am a newbie in web development. I have installed Meteor on ubuntu. When I try to create an app using something like:
Meteor create my-app
It creates the my-app folder but it never returns out of "Installing npm dependencies". I have been waiting for more than half and hour. I was wondering if this is normal? How long more should I wait for it to end?
I'm working behind a company proxy but I have set the proxy using the following lines (and that allowed me to install Meteor in the first place):
export http_proxy=http://username:password#proxy:port
export https_proxy=http://username:password#proxy:port
I was stuck in a similar situation on Windows.
Cancel the job using ctrl+c. Since meteor creates the app directory even before the command is complete, you will have the directory intact, go into the directory and run
meteor npm install
It will install all the dependencies (took 7s for me),
then run meteor to start the server.

I am trying to deploy an app that has been upgraded to meteor 1.7 using the setup for passenger outlined at puhsionpasserger.com, however when I try and access the app I get an error in the console of
Error: The core-js npm package could not be found in your node_modules directory. Please run the following command to install it: meteor npm install --save core-js
Being shown on the web page (although the favercon is correct so its trying).
The app runs fine locally (as in on the dev machine).
Give its deployed, meteor doesn't exist on the machine.
I tried npm install --save core.js and it reported one package installed, but still no joy on the app front.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Any thoughts?
Edit:
I just tried building the app without the --server-only flag with no change. Deployed the app the way I do with the v1.3 instances of the app and no change.
One thing that I did get when running npm intall from the /programs/server directory was
Binary is fine; exiting
npm WARN lifecycle meteor-dev-bundle#~install: cannot run in wd %s %s (wd=%s) meteor-dev-bundle# node npm-rebuild.js /opt/bundle/programs/server
added 131 packages in 13.857s
I'm not sure if the warning means anything in particular.
I have just started exploring kibana 4. I am trying to make few UI modifications like removing the kibana icon in the nav bar. After making the changes,we need to prepare a build. I went through the 'CONTRIBUTING.md' file under kibana repo, where they have provided instructions on how to prepare a build. But it takes some time(10 to 15 min) to prepare a build after the changes.Is there any way where i can make the changes and see if the changes are working fine before making a build ?
If you execute grunt dev instead of grunt build, you will start a development server where each change in the code you do will be reflected. After executing it, you just have to go to your browser and enter in http://localhost:5601.
EDIT: It looks like now it's different than when I used to work on it. Try with npm start. Better to check the instructions in the source by the way: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
I am using Kibana 4.3-snapshot.Not sure what was the issue.I cloned a fresh copy from here : https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git
Ran the following commands and could see the development server running.
nvm install 0.12
npm install
npm start
#Pigueiras Thank you
I am following the installation guidelines as described on mean.js.org Everything seemed to install fine. I have all prereqs installed. I ran npm install after cloning the github repo and then tried to run grunt and I didnt get any errors however It seems to just be stalling on the command line. Last message on the command line is the "debugger is running on port 5858" and then it just sits there.
After some time the message [nodemon] watching 51,839 files - this might cause high cpu usage. To reduce use "--watch" comes up. I am on windows 10 and have all the latest versions of node,npm,grunt and mean.js. I am running the command line as admin.
Mean.js should be running on localhost:3000 but it is not.
This is intended.
There is an application invoked by the grunt command and running in background, watching your files for changes. In default configuration: nodemon and grunt-watch.
This will execute specific tasks based on the files you edited, such as linting JS files or compiling LESS files.
The cmd will probably show something when you edit files in the projects directory.
I am trying to get my localhost working on my remote (mediatemple) server.
I have bundled it up and have a /myurl.com/bundle folder with the following files.
this folder contains
main.js
npm-debug.log
programs
server
How do I get this to run?
You should take a look in the README inside the bundle folder. Normally everything ist described there to start your app.
Make sure that NODEJS and MONGO is installed on your remote server. This is NOT included in your bundle as well as NODEJS is not present.
If you are running a system like debian or ubuntu normally you can do the installation with
apt-get install nodejs mongo
Make sure, that the nodejs has release v0.10.36 or v0.10.38
node --version
At the README you see the necessary ENV-VARS like MONGO_URL and PORT you need to set to start your meteor app.
If you have running a apache server already the PORT 80 is already blocked, so try PORT=3000 to start your meteor app.
Example:
MONGO_URL='mongodb://localhost:27017/yourapp' ROOT_URL="http://yourhost" PORT=3000 node main.js
If using as above you do not need to export the ENV-VARS before start
Sometime when starting, there are missing NPM – you get fiber errors
In that case
cd programs/server
npm install
and the try start again.
Good luck

(I'm writing this response assuming that you are not worried about scalability issue, respond in comment if you want to scale your app)
The best option for running a node application, which Meteor application is, is by using forever.
npm install forever
forever start simple-server.js
If you want to figure out how to see the log files and how to stop/restart your service, you can run forever --help to see all the commands.
I just started learning Meteor JS on a fresh copy of OSX. I used the Meteor install instructions to install it. Everything works well - I can install Meteor packages and run the local instance. But where is Node.js and npm? I assume it must be installed with Meteor because everything runs, but the npm and node command is not available. Am I supposed to install Node separately?
Thanks,
Kevin N.
Edit: Corrected npm in the question title which OS X keeps changing to nom.
As of METEOR#1.1.0.2, node and npm are stored in :
/home/username/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/1.1.3/mt-os.linux.x86_64/dev_bundle/bin/
(The path depends on both the username and architecture of course).
If you're doing only Meteor dev, you won't need node on its own, you might however need npm to install Meteor related tools such as Meteor Up (mup), in which case you need to install npm separately or alias the command to use the Meteor one.
