Installation

To install Meteor, run the following command:

npx meteor

It will install Meteor's latest version, alternatively you can install a specific version by running:

npx meteor@<version>

This command will execute the Meteor installer without adding it permanently to your global npm packages.

• Meteor 3 Installation Guide

Important Note

This npm package is not the Meteor framework itself; it is just an installer. Do not include it as a dependency in your project, as doing so may break your deployment.

Path Management

By default, the Meteor installer adds its install path (by default, ~/.meteor/) to your PATH by updating either your .bashrc, .bash_profile, or .zshrc as appropriate. To disable this behavior, install Meteor by running:

npm install -g meteor --ignore-meteor-setup-exec-path

(or by setting the environment variable npm_config_ignore_meteor_setup_exec_path=true)

Proxy Configuration

Set the https_proxy or HTTPS_PROXY environment variable to a valid proxy URL to download Meteor files through the configured proxy.
