On some network or machine setups Meteor's installer for Windows may fail. In such cases, follow these simple steps to install Meteor manually:
- Install 7-Zip or any other program that knows how to extract
tar.gz
files. - Download the installation archive from https://packages.meteor.com/bootstrap-link?arch=os.windows.x86_32.
- In a command prompt, run
echo %LocalAppData%\.meteor
-- this is the directory in which Meteor should be installed. - Extract the installation archive into the directory above.
- Add this directory to your PATH environment variable.
- You should now be able to open a new command prompt and run
meteor
. Some versions of Windows may require restarting your machine first.
