Simplest guide to setting up Meteor, slingshot, and image upload to S3 with user login how-to. Part1.
Most technical introductions/tutorials or even walkthroughs I have read online involve an author already well seasoned in that particular area. They forget that there are a lot of smaller steps in getting to the point of introducing the installation or usage.
One of the main reason I looked into picking up some experience with meteor over any other current frameworks (go/jango) is the ease of setup and possibility to upload directly to S3 and Google cloud storage without putting load on your own server.
I found this blog post from Curtis Larson http://bit.ly/2p4tRZR and his github files linked. No package dependencies are listed but they are there.
curl https://install.meteor.com/ | shmeteor create <appname>cd <appname>meteor npm install
These four lines should get you meteor, create the app directory and install npm (node.js manager).
meteor add accounts-uimeteor add accounts-passwordmeteor add aldeed:simple-schemameteor add aldeed:collection2meteor add iron:routermeteor add peerlibrary:aws-sdkmeteor add edgee:slingshot
These basic packages are needed to be added before you try out the demo curtis has for you in his git files.
