DESCRIPTION

Installs Meteor, an open-source platform for building top-quality, real-time web apps in a fraction of the time. Optionally, this will install MongoDB and Meteroite - a Meteor version manager and package manager (http://oortcloud.github.com/meteorite/).

See http://meteor.com for more information.

REQUIREMENTS

Requires nodejs, apt, and build-essential cookbooks. This is currently only tested on Ubuntu 12.04.

Note If you are using Vagrant, the base vagrant images currently use chef version 10.14.2. This mean we need apt cookbook ver 1.7.0. For more info, see http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/apt
