I have explained how to install Meteor on your System in my previous blog. This blog will explain how to create first App in Meteor following these simple steps.

Step 1.

We use Meteor’s command line tool meteor:

[cc lang=”javascript”]meteor create microscope[/cc]

This command will download Meteor, and set up a basic, ready to use Meteor project for you. When its done you should see a directory containing following:

[cc lang=”javascript”].meteor
microscope.css
microscope.html
microscope.js[/cc]

Step 2.

To run your app, go back to your terminal and type :

[cc lang=”javascript”]cd microscope
meteor[/cc]

Now point your browser to http://localhost:3000/ (or the equivalent http://0.0.0.0:3000/) and you will see your first Meteor App running
