It is not about the running of the command - I read the installation script, and it looks fine.

It is about my desire to work on a node application in what I consider to be a standard way. I want to be able to treat my entire application as a node package, leveraging npm for dependency resolution.

Think of it like a rails application. For local development, you probably use rbenv (or rvm), bundler, and have the version of rails you need listed in your Gemfile. You allow the package manager provided with the language and maybe a layer to keep environments separated (already provided by npm) to take care of dependency resolution and updates.

I want a node framework where I can use the package.json file as one does the Gemfile for ruby applications.



Well, Meteor isn't really just a Node framework. Why not evaluate it on its own merits?
