Meteorite package install asks for github password - meteor

Some packages that I install with
mrt add [package]
give me an error after asking for a username / password for github.
I exit, and when I restart, the app crashes. mrt remove [package] claims to remove the package but doesn't. I physically have to go in and remove the references to smart.lock, smart.json, etc. Is this a bug, or is this something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Meteorite has been replaced. If you are running Meteor 0.9.0 or higher, you can just run meteor add mrt:wordnet to add it your app.

chocolatey: meteor v0.0.2 is the latest version available based on your source(s)

I follow the instructions to install meteor 1.6 on Windows(10) as stated on Meteor.com (choco install meteor) and it's installed a meteor v0.0.2 ?
When I try to run any meteor command I get: bash: meteor: command not found
and when I try choco upgrade meteor I get:
$ choco upgrade meteor
Chocolatey v0.10.8
Upgrading the following packages:
meteor
By upgrading you accept licenses for the packages.
meteor v0.0.2 is the latest version available based on your source(s).
Chocolatey upgraded 0/1 packages.
See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).
I tried choco uninstall meteor and then reinstall choco instlal meteor but same issue. Searching around online a little I found this page:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/meteor
I do have meteor installed and running on version 1.6.0.1 on Window 10's Ubuntu bash which was installed via curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
Following on from above post https://stackoverflow.com/a/47967277/642729 by Gary Ewan Park. The below comment on https://chocolatey.org/packages/meteor clarifies the Chocolately/Meteor versioning
The current version of Meteor is 1.6;
is this the version in the 0.0.2 Chocolatey package?
[Garrie Powers • 2 months ago]
The version number of the Chocolatey package is the version of the installer.
Meteor is unique in the way it works in that all versions
are capable of springboarding to other versions.
Therefore, in the same way as the Unix installer installs the latest version,
the Chocolatey installer will always install the latest version.
So at this exact moment, the answer to your question is "yes"!
[Jesse Rosenberger Garrie Powers • 2 months ago]
The best advice would be to reach out to the maintainers of that package of chocolatey.org. This can be done by clicking on the "Contact Maintainers" link of this page:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/meteor
It would seem that the creators of the application, also own the Chocolatey package, so hopefully they will get back to you.
From the official installer github:
The version of this Meteor installer is not to be confused with Meteor itself. Meteor, once installed, will always "springboard" to (download, install and run) the correct version of Meteor necessary for the application being executed.
...
When necessary, specific versions of Meteor can be installed using
Chocoloatey's --params argument which will download that specific
version from Meteor's installation server. For example, to install
Meteor 1.5.4.4:
C:> choco install meteor --params="'/RELEASE:1.6.0.1'"
Note: Prior to
Meteor 1.6, 64-bit versions were not available. Therefore, in order to
install versions prior to Meteor 1.6, you'll also need to pass
Chocolatey's --x86 option when running choco install on 64-bit Windows
platforms. For example:
C:> choco install meteor --x86 --params="'/RELEASE:1.5.4.4'"

How do I downgrade a package in Meteor?

The new version of the package u2622-persistent-session crashes my entire app with no hope to troubleshoot it, so naturally I wanted to downgrade it to 0.3.5 again but found it impossible.
I rolled back everything in git to the version where everything was working, no luck.
I deleted the package manually and did meteor add u2622:persistent-session#0.3.5, no luck.
I changed the value that says 0.4.4 in the file packages but it changes back immediately again.
What the heck do I do to downgrade a package?
Did you read the documentation from atmospherejs ? It should be
meteor add u2622:persistent-session#=0.3.5
(= after #)

Not able to install iron-router to meteor version 0.9.1

Today only i updated the meteor version to 0.9.1 but i am not able to install iron-router to my new project created by using the command
meteor add iron:router
the error i get is:
downloading iron:dynamic-template at version 0.3.0 ...
/root/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.1.0.26.13pjtg1++os.linux.x86_32+web.browser+web.cordova/meteor-tool-os.linux.x86_32/dev_bundle/lib/node_modules/fibers/future.js:206
throw(ex);

[Offline: Error: SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN]
i also tried to revise my meteor back to older version to 0.8.3 and used mrt then also can't able to install iron-router. Please tell me how to install iron-router for meteor version 0.9.1.
This is possibly due to broken pipe in connection. I was getting similar errors. Try closing the terminal window and run the update again and should run smoothly. Even if you get errors just try to run 2-3 times till all the packages are downloaded and updated.

Meteor: GraphicsMagick not installing, probably a very simple issue

I'm wanting to try out the "gm" node package. I've currently got node-gd installed and want to see what gm offers.
I'm using Meteor 0.9.0.1 and this is my packages.json file:
{
"node-gd":"0.2.3",
"gm" :"1.16.0"
}
I ran "meteor update" .... It didn't install, so I guess I've done something wrong.
me#ubuntu:~/myapp$ meteor update
Refreshing package metadata. This may take a moment.

upgraded autoupdate from version 1.0.4 to version 1.0.5
upgraded less from version 1.0.5 to version 1.0.6
myapp: updated to Meteor 0.9.0.1.
All your package dependencies are already up to date.
Can anyone advise how to install this?
I think you need meteorhacks:npm
meteor add meteorhacks:npm
meteor
This should trigger the installation of the npm modules. Of note may be the new notation is Meteor.npmRequire and no longer Meteor.require

R install package globally

How do I install an R package globally, so it's available to all users? Currently I'm doing
R.exe CMD INSTALL *.zip
But it does
* installing to library 'C:/Users/Matt/Documents/R/win-library/2.15'
I would like to install the packages alongside R in Windows' 'program files'.
Your big problem here is installing to C:\Program Files\. This means on versions of windows with file permissions, you need admin permissions to write to that folder. As R does not commonly request admin permissions, it will on default install to an user subdirectory, unless you run R as administrator (by right clicking on the shortcut). In which case you can use the GUI to install packages and it will install them globally by default. For working on the command line, you can also run the cmd session as administrator.
In future, it's recommended that you install R to say, C:\R\ to avoid this.
What worked for me was running:
install.packages("MyPackage", lib="C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.0.1\\library")
Installing it to Program Files wasn't a problem for me - the problem was that the default installation directory was in C:\\Users\\Mike\\Documents\\R\\...
Ultimately you just want to install it to wherever .libPaths() looks by default, and in my environment that was most commonly C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-3.0.1\\library
Here is a way to specify where to find or install libraries. You can put the libraries in a common directory.
