How to run Leaderboard meteor example on Windows 10

As I mentioned in my last post that I have started exploring Meteor recently on my very old laptop that I have upgraded to Windows 10. I am going to blog simple to complex issues that I encounters during my exploration phase.

The second hurdle was to run leaderboard example :).

I tried following:

meteor create --example

As I am not using Mac, I received an error message saying that I should use clone git repository using following command. When I try to execute the following command then I received one more error message complaining about that "git" is not recognized as internal or external command.

git clone https://github.com/meteor/leaderboard


So the next thing I did that I downloaded Git for Windows v2.9.0 from

https://git-for-windows.github.io/index.html

Once downloaded and installed then I closed windows command prompt.

After running windows command prompt again and following above commands I was able to run leaderboard successfully :).

Installing Meteor on Windows 10 in 10 minutes :)

Recently I started exploring Meteor. The initial glitch I had on installing it to my Windows 10 machine. Thought of listing following five steps to get it done.

Step 1. Browse to https://www.meteor.com/install

Step 2: Click on "Download Installer" on Windows section.

Step 3: Install and create a developer account (optional).

Step 4: Restart the machine

Step 5: Open a new Command Prompt and type "Meteor"

You are all set up to go ahead. Happy coding :)
