How can I completely uninstall and then reinstall Meteor.js?

Let’s start with the deletions, then we’ll move on to the reinstallations.

  1. If you ever installed Meteorite, uninstall and delete it:sudo mrt uninstall sudo mrt uninstall --system rm -rf ~/.meteorite
  2. Then delete Meteor:sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor rm -rf ~/.meteor

Now start over at the beginning:

  1. Repair permissions if necessary:sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
  2. Reinstall Meteor:curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
  3. Next check that your project has all its proper packages:cd /path/to/your/project meteor update
  4. If your project still won’t compile, you can reset it (warning: deletes database):cd /path/to/your/project meteor reset
  5. Still no luck? Recreate the Meteor project (warning: deletes database and the project’s memory of what packages you’ve installed):cd /path/to/your/project rm -rf ./.meteor cd .. meteor create project-new rm ./project-new/project-new.* mv ./project/* ./project-new/ cd ./project-new (and run meteor add *packagename* over and over to reinstall each package you were using)
