Meteorite requires websockets to install packages? #284

Closed btrepp closed 10 years ago

btrepp commented 10 years ago

Is there a way to install packages without webscokets?. My corporate proxy breaks all websockets (which is a downer). They will work locally though.

Is there any way to manually install the meteorite packages?. (as a workaround to horrible IT)

Yeah, you'll need websockets.

You can manually install packages following the process described here: https://www.discovermeteor.com/blog/using-meteor-and-atmopshere-on-windows/

@tmeasday I got passed this using SSL. My internet connection at home disallows websockets entirely!

btrepp commented 10 years ago

SSL may work for some people. Sadly for me it does not (meteorite seems to use SSL by default).

Our proxy is so nice, it resigns everything on the way through. Work basically MITM everything, everytime I encounter package managers its a fresh set of issues I have to deal with.

It's great to know I can just manually do git commands as a workaround.
