meteorite command on Windows not found #287

Closed sschuchlenz closed 10 years ago

sschuchlenz commented 10 years ago

According to the info in the README, I installed meteorite on Windows 8 with npm (both this and the meteor windows package work fine) but there seems to be no "meteorite" command (and "mrt" brings up the Windows tool for malicious software) - is there anything (e.g. PATH) I have to set to get it up and running?

Hi @sschuchlenz, do you have a meteorite.cmd file next to your mrt.cmd file in the bin directory for meteorite?

The path does need to contain a reference to that folder, and I recommend putting it at the beginning of your path. I don't recall if that was added to the install of the top of my head, but we can update that if it's missing.

Let me know if this is the issue you see or if you need more assistance. Thanks.

I reinstalled it and now it seems there is mrt.cmd, but once I run it, I get this:

path.js:204 throw new TypeError('Arguments to path.join must be strings'); ^ TypeError: Arguments to path.join must be strings at f (path.js:204:15) at Object.filter (native) at Object.exports.join (path.js:209:40) at Function.Meteorite.root (C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\meteorite\lib\meteorite.js:240:15) at Function.Meteorite.prepareFS (C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\meteorite\lib\meteorite.js:245:24) at new Meteorite (C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\meteorite\lib\meteorite.js:20:13) at Object.

According to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15726980/throw-new-typeerrorarguments-to-path-join-must-be-strings-in-meteorjs I switched the node version but there are different errors now when trying to install bootstrap-3:

STDERR: fatal: could not create work tree dir '.meteorite\source\mangasocial\meteor-bootstrap-3'.: No such file or directory

OK I finally managed to solve this, here are the steps that led to it:
