This is a Meteor application bundle. It has only one external dependency: Node.js 0.10.40 or newer. To run the application: $ (cd programs/server && npm install) $ export MONGO_URL='mongodb://user:password@host:port/databasename' $ export ROOT_URL='http://example.com' $ export MAIL_URL='smtp://user:password@mailhost:port/' $ node main.js Use the PORT environment variable to set the port where the application will listen. The default is 80, but that will require root on most systems. Find out more about Meteor at meteor.com.
