I am trying to install meteor on a ubuntu server (actually I first tried a few docker containers including debian and ubuntu) as a build machine for my meteor app mainly using meteor 1.2.0.4 with react, flow-router etc.
For example, I start a fresh ubuntu docker container and install meteor directly. Then I clone the meteor project and run meteor directly, after it successfully downloaded meteor-tool@1.1.9, it seems stuck there, always showing " Downloading meteor-tool@1.1.9… -".
I was able to build this project on my mac though. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Hello, xigua. I had the same problem as you. Did you try to download the tool 1.1.9? Perhaps it is because you started in version 1.2.0.4 therefore possessed no dependencies of version 1.1.x of the framework, or at least that’s what happened to me. You can try the “meteor update” command before using “meteor run”. I hope it helps you. Greetings!
Hello, I had the same issue, & when I stopped with a “CTRL+C” a message told me there was a matter with a folder in C:\Users<my_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp. (AppData is not visible , you have to type it in the adress bar )
I deleted all folders in this temp folder , and when i launched “meteor” it creates 2 folder with random name. The one which start with a “.tmp” owns a ‘meteor-tool-1.1.9’ folder that grows and in this we can see some package are dowloading —> I’m wainting --> more than 161 Mo
Then this packages are transfered to the second folder, and the ‘.tmp’ folder disapear…
, started a new app, and replaced all files of mine with those, create a new app, no “Router” were found --> it didn’t find iron-router… so I copied the .meteor/package file downloaded to my new one and when I run Meteor , it updated all package --> this works !
Hi I’m experiencing the same with you using the lates meteor-tool 1.3.3 I also experience stuck download when using meteor add iron:router. Need help on this one. By the way I also tried meteor update an it takes so long also to download. Need insights on this matter. See my screen capture below. Thank you
I was able to get it to work by deleting all of the .tmpXXXX folders from
the Temp folder, then deleting the .meteor folder as well, uninstalling
meteor and then installing a freshly downloaded installer
not pretty, but that made it work…
for the deletion of those folders I actually had to create a little
recursive script to first rename the subfolders so that windows would
delete them…
For how long do you guys wait? I’ve had downloads of meteor-tool that took over half an hour (I think it’s because it needs to do other stuff like ES6 compilation and installing dependencies on your machine).
I solved this problem by uninstalling meteor and after successfully uninstalled. I installed the newly fresh downloaded meteor and it works perfectly now.
Hi, I had the same issue. MY SOLUTION: I was erroneously running meteor outside of my project folder. When I move to the proper meteor project folder the tool downloading issue disappear. =P
