How to install an example application?

Make a directory (not in www directory of your Apache, Meteor runs on Node.js. Has it's own server). Let's make it in your user directory i.e

greg@ThinkPad:~$ mkdir /home/greg/Meteor

Where greg is your username in your system. Or just

greg@ThinkPad:~$ mkdir ~/Meteor

Now get inside...

greg@ThinkPad:~$ cd ~/Meteor

...and clone examples from meteor.com:

greg@ThinkPad:~/Meteor$ meteor create --example leaderboard

Next enter cloned project's directory and run meteor command to start it on http://localhost:3000

greg@ThinkPad:~/Meteor$ cd leaderboards
greg@ThinkPad:~/Meteor/leaderboards$ meteor

You can clone also other examples:
- parties
- todos
- wordplay
It is a good practice to read them line by line, play around with them, change here and there.
