Meteor App update help needed

help
1

i started an application in meteor 1.3 three years ago in Cloud 9 environment, but as probably you know could 9 was bought by amazon and now is part of AWS. I got the code in a Github repository and would like to continue developing. The project was updated to Meteor 1.6.0.1 and Node in the production machine is 8.9.4 and npm 5.6.0. I would like a way to install a similar environment where i can migrate the project to the actual version. I had the working copy on the production server but would love to implement new features.

Is there any way i can do that, any try i did throw me a lot of errors

hope you can help me guys

thanks

Could you please clarify this: you said you have your code in GitHub, so did you try and clone it locally in your environment? Not entirely understandable where is it that you are trying to add new features.

A production server runs your code differently from your local meteor environment. Itā€™s here where you edit the code.

I suggest you start here: https://guide.meteor.com/

Yes, sorry if I didnā€™t explain me properly. I wanna try to develop in a Mac book pro with Catalina Os, so I clone the GitHub repo using github desktop on Mac and ve into de repo folder and try to run the project

I event use curl ā€œhttps://install.meteor.com/ | sed se/1.10.1/1.6.0.1/ā€˜ |sh and install de same version I have in the production environment but got so many errors when try tu run.

I even thinking in restart the Mac with a fresh Catalina installation to can have the same version of node and non than in the working node.

But wanna see if there could be an option no so drastic, to make it run it

Thanks

Did you run meteor npm install in the root directory of your app? Iā€™m assuming by now the app would have a package.json file with a few dependecies listed in it. Those need to be installed.

EDIT: you donā€™t need to worry about the Node version in your system, as Meteor runs its own local copy of Node.
EDIT2: you also donā€™t need to worry about the Meteor version, because even the newest binary will still run your app. Unless you have executed meteor update inside the app folder, that is.

Also, if the .meteor folder is intact, then running meteor in the app folder will download the correct meteor version, download the correct versions of the packages, and use the corresponding npm version of that running meteor.

Hi there, yes I try to run Meteor npm install just after clone the
repository but got lot of errors

An yes, you are right i have a package.json file inside .meteor directory
that has all this dependencies i was adding during the implementation

Meteor packages used by this project, one per line.

ā€˜meteor addā€™ and ā€˜meteor removeā€™ will edit this file for you,

but you can also edit it by hand.

Thanks rjdavid, i asume the .meteor folder is instact, but i got the git configured to ignore some folders inside -meteor folder just to keep the repository light on Github. As i did in the past this nod-modules folder create when run meteor npm install

but now got errors

I did a new try and install meteor in a VPS with Ubuntu 14.04 thatā€™s the version of Ubuntu i got in Cloud9 vps machine when i start the development.

I just install Meteor, clone the repository and do meteor npm install
