Meteor JS installs on Ubuntu 14.04.x

Question

Is Meteor JS required to install NodeJS on Ubuntu before installing Meteor? I tried installing Meteor on Ubuntu 14.04 without installing NodeJS, and it does not work. I followed the instructions that I found at this link Textbook on meteorology .

Thank.

Yes, you need to install nodejs before installing Meteor.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install curl
$ curl https://install.meteor.com | sh

For Node.js

$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties python g++ make
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs
