Installing Meteor.js without Chocolatey

As the title reads, I'm looking for a way to install Meteor.js without Chocolatey package manager. Any way I can do that? I should also mention that I'm running Windows.

There is a new native NPM-based method to install Meteor without Chocolatey. See the guide: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/npm-packages/meteor-installer/README.md

I updated maka-cli (www.maka-cli.com) to include an installer for windows 10 (also works on Linux and Mac):

npm install -g maka-cli maka install meteor

I noticed that Chocolatey requires the installation of .NET binaries. I think that there are a lot of developers who love to avoid .NET for a variety of reasons, and thus would avoid Chocolatey, too.

If you are using Windows 10, installing the Linux subsystem is a great solution. Then you can install meteor from a linux prompt with:

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

A set of instructions for installing the linux subsystem on Win 10 are here.

There appears to be an installer available at https://install.meteor.com/windows. I was able to see this in the installation script:

if [ "$UNAME" ">" "MINGW" -a "$UNAME" "<" "MINGX" ] ; then
    echo "To install Meteor on Windows, download the installer from:"
    echo "https://install.meteor.com/windows"
    exit 1
fi
