Error installing Meteor on Ubuntu

Question

I'm having trouble installing Meteor on Ubuntu 14.04. I searched through previous answers, but none had the same problem that I'm having.

When I run the command given on the Meteor website:

sudo curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

I get the following message:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to meteorinstall-4168.kxcdn.com port 443: 拒绝连接
Retrying download in 5 seconds...

Any idea what's going on here?

Answer 1

Try this

curl --insecure https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

Answer 2

Are you connected through another pc? connecting directly my ubuntu laptop to my router worked for me

Answer 3

We need first to know what this command does,

first it download a file, using this link https://install.meteor.com/. then execute it, that's it.

So read the sh file,

there is a link where it download a file. it's *

https://static-meteor.netdna-ssl.com/packages-bootstrap/${RELEASE}/meteor-bootstrap-${PLATFORM}.tar.gz

this link is related to your system. ${RELEASE} is the version you want to download and ${PLATFORM} is the system where u want to install into it,

it can be os.linux.x86_32 os.linux.x86_64.

Check your system and the file and download Meteor directly in the browser.
