'jQuery is not defined' in Meteor app?

Seem to be getting a strange error after downloading semantic-ui and I can't get it to run when I've chosen what I do, and do not want in my custom.semantic.json file. I've tried also downloading/installing the jQuery package to my directory with no joy. Error message below.

>/Users/Kyle/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.1.1.3.1wysac9++os.osx.x86_64+web.browser+web.cordova/mt-os.osx.x86_64/dev_bundle/server-lib/node_modules/fibers/future.js:245
                        throw(ex);
                              ^

In Meteor, this happens when custom.semantic.json is inside the root's lib/ folder. Thus, Semantic-UI generates all its folders and files in lib/ which is loaded before any of its core dependencies, such as jQuery.

The solution is to place custom.semantic.json in an app folder, such as client/lib/semantic-ui/.
