Discover Meteor - mrt add bootstrap - Install Error

votes

I just started the Discover Meteor Tutorial, and when I attempt to:

mrt add bootstrap

I get the following error:

usr/local/lib/node_modules/meteorite/lib/project.js:225
      throw("Package named " + pkgName + " doesn't exist in your meteor in
                                       ^
Package named bootstrap doesn't exist in your meteor installation, smart.json, or on    
atmosphere

Any thoughts? Thank you.

update 3/2/14:

It looks like the book now supports the official bootstrap package which you can get via:

$ meteor add twbs:bootstrap

old answer:

It looks like they have not updated the book for the new packaging system. You have some choices when it comes to which bootstrap version to use. I'm not sure which one the book expects, but you could try the default that comes with meteor:

$ meteor add bootstrap

Note we are replacing mrt with meteor.

If you want bootstrap 3, then you could try:

$ meteor add mizzao:bootstrap-3

I had the same problem, but luckily, found a solution quite easily. It appears that the Meteorite package manager operates on packages that have already been added to your local project with meteor add <packageName> and allows you to manage them more conveniently with the smart.json and smart.lock files. Consequently, the steps you should take are the following:

  1. Install bootstrap with meteor add bootstrap in your project (this operation does not write to smart.json);
  2. Issue the command mrt add bootstrap (this command will record your bootstrap package in smart.json and smart.lock for easier package management with Meteorite).
