Disclaimer: I’m in no way affiliated with Nodejitsu or MEAN.io. I’m just documenting my experience with them – problems (and solutions) I’ve faced while trying these new technologies on a Windows machine.<\/p>\n

Great, with that off my chest, we can now start. This is a successor post to the previous one: Getting started with Nodejitsu on Windows by deploying a MEN framework<\/a>, so you may wanna check that too.<\/p>\n

MEAN <\/a>is\u00a0a fullstack javascript platform for modern web applications.<\/p>\n

M<\/strong>ongoDB – leading NoSQL database, empowering businesses to be more agile and scalable<\/address>\n

E<\/strong>xpress –\u00a0minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>ngular – lets you extend HTML vocabulary for your application. The resulting environment is extraordinarily expressive, readable, and quick to develop<\/p>\n

N<\/strong>ode.js –\u00a0a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Following the notes on the official website you have to clone the repo, install all the dependencies withnpm<\/span>\u00a0 and then run grunt<\/span>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

git clone http:\/\/github.com\/linnovate\/mean.git\r\n\r\ncd mean\r\n\r\nnpm install\r\n\r\ngrunt<\/pre>\n

make sure that you have MongoDB installed and that you have the mongod.exe running on the default port 27017<\/strong>. Instructions on how to install MongoDB on a Windows machine can be found here:\u00a0http:\/\/docs.mongodb.org\/manual\/tutorial\/install-mongodb-on-windows\/<\/a>, but\u00a0tl;dr<\/strong> is: <\/span><\/p>\n
