CHAPTER 1: Newly spun up Meteor makes a server and client folder

[jasonnmark]

Book says:

This command will download Meteor, and set up a basic, ready to use Meteor project for you. When it's done, you should see a directory, microscope/, containing the following:

.meteor microscope.css microscope.html microscope.js

Actually seeing a client and server folder...

Following the instructions:

$ meteor create microscope on the latest version of meteor (1.3) makes this:

Here's a copy paste from my $ls -la

$ ls -la
total 16
drwxr-xr-x   7 jeremy  staff  238 Apr 11 19:58 .
drwxr-xr-x  23 jeremy  staff  782 Apr 11 19:58 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 jeremy  staff   13 Apr 11 19:58 .gitignore
drwxr-xr-x  10 jeremy  staff  340 Apr 11 19:58 .meteor

drwxr-xr-x   3 jeremy  staff  102 Apr 11 19:58 server

And copy paste from $tree

$ tree
.
├── client
│   ├── main.css
│   ├── main.html
│   └── main.js
├── package.json
└── server
    └── main.js

2 directories, 5 files

The directions in Chapter 1 (sorry not Chapter 2) says:

https://book.discovermeteor.com/chapter/getting-started

This command will download Meteor, and set up a basic, ready to use Meteor project for you. When it's done, you should see a directory, microscope/, containing the following:

.meteor
microscope.css
microscope.html
microscope.js

Which was correct with an older version of Meteor... but the new version shows what you outlined above.

Yes, the default file structure has changed. We'll update the book.
