What you need for this book

This book assumes that you have a working knowledge of JavaScript and HTML. Being familiar with Node, npm, GitHub and the command line/terminal will be very helpful (but not critical) to getting the most out of the recipes in this book.

You will find recipes to install Meteor on Mac OS X or Linux, with links to using Meteor on Windows and Google Chromebooks. In every instance, you will need access to the Internet to download Meteor and community packages, and you will need installation privileges for your developer machine regardless of the operating system.

For deployment to production environments or to mobile devices, the requirements will vary from recipe to recipe. To complete all of the recipes successfully, you will need your own hosted server and DNS domain as well as iOS, Android, or Windows mobile devices and SDKs.
