Windows 7 and 10 install fails

[thomasrivette]

I have attempted to install meteor on Windows 7 and 10 with similar results. I have suspect the path variable yet it appears to be more complex.

Hi @thomasrivette, I don't own any Windows devices but some users have shared a solution for these environments: https://github.com/PEM--/meteor-helper#how-to-launch-meteor-on-windows-with-an-appropriate-path

Thanks for your help! Any other recommendations?

It didn't work for you? Try to launch Meteor on the command line (the Console, if my memory serves me well). If it fails, you should find some help on Meteor's forum.

yes - not working. I posted something on the forum. the create ran
directly from the ".meteor" directory and created the simple-todo directory
and elements"css, html and js" in addition to the ".meteor" subdirectory.

when I cd to the simple-todo subdir and execute meteor it responds 'meteor'
is not recognized as an internal or external command. which indicates that
the path i am able to view in th ht eadvanced setting and entered as
c;\users\thomas rivette\appdata\local" isn't working, which is what I
would expect as correct per the information posted.

Do you know where the log file is located?

If the command doesn't start, only the OS can trigger a log. When meteor is launched, it simply displays its log on the STDOUT and STDERR of the process that has executed it.

Sounds like a PATH problem to me. Guys using the same OS as yours should be able to help you out better that I can. Let's hope that someone will help you out on Meteor's forum.

I see forum dialog that introduces atom...not sure I understand the
implication as I am familiar with atom as an editor...

Actually, if you can't execute Meteor on the command line, there's nothing that Atom can do: it only means that the OS doesn't know where the meteor command is.

My guess is that most of the discussion about Atom on the forum are related to creating hybrid apps.

You should post a clear message: "I can't run Meteor on Windows 7 or 10" and explain what happens when you're are using meteor create, cd into it and launch meteor. Assuredly, someone has stumbled on this 😉
