Chapter 2: missing dependency (MongoDB) #278

Closed elegos closed 10 years ago

elegos commented 10 years ago

The very first time you start microscope via the meteor command, if you haven't installed MongoDB yet, Meteorjs will stall trying to execute it. You don't mention anywhere in the chapter about installing it. I took one second to understand the issue, maybe other people may be less-practised resolving this kind of problems.

@elegos - I'm not sure I've experienced the issue you are describing. Can you provide a little more detail?

elegos commented 10 years ago

Under the subsection 'Creating a Simple App', you ask the user to start the microscope app (entering the directory and executing meteor). It requires MongoDB to be installed, otherwise it will hang trying to start it.

Meteor comes bundled with Mongo. Which OS is this on?

elegos commented 10 years ago

I've tried running it under Debian "wheezy". Maybe the first time it takes longer to load (I waited for around 30 seconds before killing (CTRL+C) the app) and I installed the indipendent MongoDB uselessy.

tmeasday commented 10 years ago

Yeah sometimes it can take a long time to start the first time you run it. We should perhaps put something in about this..

Yep. Thanks for the support :)
