Meteor.js installation failed

Question

I wanted to install Meteor via

curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh

like it's said in the documentation.

Every time I try this (also as sudo), I get this error:

**rmdir: /Users/christophz/.meteor-install-tmp: Directory not empty
Installation failed.**

The directory, of course, is empty before installation. After aborting the installation in my home folder there IS .meteor and still .meteor-install-tmp. But trying to create a new meteor app fails. My command line says it doesn't know this command.

I didn't find anything via Google. Can u help me and give me some hint?

Answer 1

Did you try rm -rf? With or without sudo:

rm -rf ~/.meteor-install-tmp
rm -rf ~/.meteor

Answer 2

Try deleting the directory. I think this happened to me once.
