Meteor not starting due to Meteorite package (sett

Everyone,

I've got a Meteor project running 0.5.9. I want to setup Meteor 0.5.9 locally as well as Meteorite (since I use some mrt packages).

I've done a clean install of Meteorite on a vagrant server. Running mrt command throws this error:

$ mrt

Stand back while Meteorite does its thing

After running mrt for a second time, I get this error:

Running it again, I get:

And then this again:

Then finally, I keep getting this error:

Please fix the problem and restart.

回答1:

After upgrading to 0.8.1.1, I had certain packages that didn't work. Finally figured out that now I have to do certain mrt add commands as the superuser. (sudo mrt add iron-router).

For whatever it's worth

回答2:

So, this was a bit tricky due to non-obvious errors.

Meteorite is great for getting different versions of meteor. Since I wanted meteor 0.5.9, I figured it would be as easy as installing meteorite and letting 'er rip! Not so much, as you can see from the errors in the question.

After almost giving up, I thought, hey since I'm looking for Meteor 0.5.9, I should try and install the version of meteorite that was available at that time!

In the meteorite github page, I found that the branch 0.5.9 was pretty closely released with meteor version 0.5.9. So, I downloaded the zipped version of that meteorite branch and unzipped it in my machine.

Then I installed it using npm:
