Installing Meteor on Windows 7 with cURL

Question

I'm a newbie when it comes to installing/setting up software especially if it involves using the command line.

I'm trying to install Meteor.js on Windows 7 x64 using the following instructions: http://pastebin.com/qQYf23f4

In the command prompt, after going to the directory Meteor is installed, I try running curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh but I get the error The system cannot find the path specified.

In my Meteor directory, there is a bin folder but no sh folder inside it... Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Meteor doesn't yet support Windows officially. Unofficially, have a look at http://win.meteor.com

Answer 2

As of release 1.1 that came out recently, Meteor started supporting Windows officially. The official Windows installer is available here
