Meteor JS install on Ubuntu 14.04.x

Question

Does Meteor JS require installation of NodeJS on Ubuntu before installation of Meteor? I have tried install Meteor on Ubuntu 14.04 without install NodeJS and it doesn't work. I followed the instructions which I found on this link Meteor Tutorial .

Thanks.

Yes, you need to install nodejs before install Meteor.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install curl
$ curl https://install.meteor.com | sh

For Node.js

$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs

Best Regards.
