Deploying a Meteor.JS app to digital ocean servers.

Getting set up with Meteor.JS is simple, just run: <br> <br><pre> <br>curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh <br>meteor create ~/my_cool_app <br>cd ~/my_cool_app <br>meteor <br></pre> <br> <br>Now the bare bones app is running at http://your.ip.address:3000 <br> <br>There are a number of ways to deploy a Meteor app you developed locally. Check out: <br> <br>http://docs.meteor.com/#deploying <br> <br>If you create a bundle of your app with: <br> <br><pre> <br>meteor bundle myapp.tgz <br></pre> <br> <br>You can copy that to a DigitalOcean droplet and extract it there. You’ll need need node.js and MongoDB installed. You can then extract and run it with: <br> <br><pre> <br>PORT=3000 MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp node bundle/main.js <br></pre> <br> <br>To install node.js see: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-node-js-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server <br> <br>To install MongoDB, see: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-mongodb-on-ubuntu-12-04 <br> <br>Let us know how it goes!

Use Meteor Up[0]. It it used by many developers to deploy their Meteor app specially on DO. <br> <br> <br>[0] - https://github.com/arunoda/meteor-up

You might also need this command (if you are having a problem running meteorite). Also, remember that you don’t need node or npm, just run the command that Andrew gives above (curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh) and meteor brings in node and npm.
