Meteor.js projects and dependency management

I just made my first meteorjs project and I'm new to Bower as well. I want it to be fast for someone else to check out my project and set up. I also don't want to commit the .meteor/ folder. Would Bower work for this? Is there a package that supplies the contents of the .meteor/ folder that gets created when you create a project with meteor create project-name, which would be separate from the actual meteor.js package, right? Or is it accepted practice instead simply to commit the .meteor/ folder in the repo with my project?

Short answer

Add the .meteor directory to your project.

Long answer

.meteor is created with a .gitigore so your database and other dynamically written files won't be added. The directory also contains the files: release, packages, and versions which are critical to reproducing your build environment.

  • release specifies the meteor version
  • packages specifies the names of the packages you have included
  • versions specifies the versions of all directly and indirectly included packages
