[SOLVED] - Can't run my meteor app

[koakpet]

I just created a new meteor app (blaze) and when I try starting the app on terminal, I get this error

This is a pretty thorough reset for Meteor. It might be worth a try in your case. Download an entirely fresh copy of your source via git clone Copy the .meteor directory into the new project folder from the previous source folder Run meteor reset and meteor update (Make sure to have copies of your mongodb files so as to upload them again to local mongo after the reset ) Uninstall Mongo from your local dev system and re-installed it Run mongo --shell in the terminal to access the mon…

error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object

You are missing cURL you need to install the libcurl package you can get the sources via:

git clone https://github.com/curl/curl.git

But best to use your package manager, as I don’t know your distribution here’s all the ways you can get it (remember to run an update first to get the latest and greatest)

Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install curl

Freebsd:
$ sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
$ sudo pkg install curl

CentOS / RHEL:
$ sudo apt-get install curl

Gentoo:
$ sudo emerge curl

Suse: Install cURL on openSUSE using the Snap Store | Snapcraft

Enjoy

thank you so much

I use Ubuntu, immediately I ran the commands you shared, my problem was fixed
