Hi, I’m new to meteor and like to know how we can setup the perfect development environment for meteor. I use Linux and now need to run multiple meteor versions. Also like it’s better if I can sync the dbs or let other machines in the office connect to one db. Any suggestions? Thanks
A few quick notes:
- You can run your app with any previous meteor version by using
meteor --release SOME_VERSION_NUMBER
- You can choose the port meteor runs on using
meteor --post SOME_PORT
(so using this combined with the above point will let you run multiple meteor versions/apps at the same time) - You can get the Mongo URL for your running app at any point by running
meteor mongo -U
; with this you can then connect other meteor apps to the same mongo DB by using the MONGO_URL environment variable:export MONGO_URL=mongodb://localhost:123456/some_db

Great! By the way… How to install multiple meteor versions and set a default to run when we call meteor create?
