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 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
meteor create myapp
cd myapp
meteor
You'll then be able to read the docs locally in your browser at

.
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
.
