# Update 2023-12-07 I did get newest Meteor 3.0 working at Linux arm64. Here …are all the details. ## Screenshot of Meteor 3.0 at Linux arm64 <img width="903" alt="meteor-arm" src="https://github.com/meteor/meteor/assets/15545/951138da-0a40-45a0-a002-3e6971898e09"> ## Installing Meteor 3.0 to Linux arm64 Using Debian 12 arm64 in this case. (Could also be newest Ubuntu). ``` ssh user@arm64linux sudo apt -y install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev build-essential autoconf automake cmake curl wget zip unzip p7zip-full nano ``` Scripts use command /usr/bin/python , that does not exists, so link it to /usr/bin/python3 . ``` sudo su cd /usr/bin ln -s python3 python exit ``` And continue: ``` sudo apt -y install npm sudo npm -g install n sudo n 20.10.0 sudo npm -g install @mapbox/node-pre-gyp sudo npm -g install node-gyp git clone https://github.com/meteor/meteor .meteor cd .meteor git checkout remotes/origin/release-3.0 git merge remotes/origin/feature-linux-arm ``` There is this one merge conflict file. Edit it and remove everything between <<< and >>> lines, and those lines itself also: ``` nano -c packages/promise/.npm/package/npm-shrinkwrap.json ``` Save and exit with Ctrl-o Enter Ctrl-x Enter Generate dev bundle, here also timing how long it takes: ``` time ./scripts/generate-dev-bundle.sh cd .. ``` Optional is installing MongoDB 6. meteor command uses Meteor embedded MongoDB, but when not developing, and running bundle, installed version of Node and MongoDB is used at `cd armtest/.build/bundle && node main.js`. I installed just in case, if it has some of the required dependencies. - Debian: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v6.0/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-debian/ - Ubuntu: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/v6.0/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/ Download missing MongoDB .so files. These are needed, because otherwise building with meteor command has MongoDB errors. More info at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/5142#issuecomment-1773317180 ``` wget https://wekan.github.io/LD_LIBRARY-linux-arm64.zip unzip LD_LIBRARY-linux-arm64.zip nano .bashrc ``` There add at bottom, and copy paste it to bash shell to use at current bash session: ``` export PATH=~/.meteor:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/lib ``` Then save and exit with Ctrl-o Enter Ctrl-x To use those paths at current bash shell (without `exit` and back with `ssh user@arm64linux`): ``` source .bashrc ``` Then create meteor project: ``` mkdir repos cd repos meteor create --blaze armtest cd armtest meteor ```
