HOW DO I MODIFY AND USE A LOCAL PACKAGE FROM AN Open source Project

1

how do i modify and use a project’s local package which i had referenced from METEOR_PACKAGES_DIR. I would like to customize it so that i can use it privately. The PACKAGE is not on atmosphere it is also a private package

I guess you have everything in place; but still require a meteor add mypackage?

Meteor will see the package can be added from a local source, usually under myProject/packages, or under the METEOR_PACKAGES_DIR.

I assume you have read this?

It is really pretty simple put the package in a place where meteor can find it. Either put it in the packages directory or use the environment variable METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS. Then make sure you execute meteor add mypackage.

Maybe you are having trouble with METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS? It should point to a directory of packages, not the package itself. For example, if your package is in ~/foo/bar/mypackage. Then METEOR_PACKAGE_DIRS needs to be ~/foo/bar

Here is a pretty extensive tutorial.

Lots more info here.
