Instaling meteorite

Question

I'm new, forgive me. I'm trying to install meteorite on my new Linux machine. When attempting to run the install command (with or without root access) I recive this error message:

Taken from: Unable to install meteorite on Ubuntu VM maybe it will work in your case as well. Your error reminded you of the one I got

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Install curl sudo apt-get install curl

Install node http://lucidservices.com/2013/09/17/install-node-on-ubuntu/

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

Install meteorite sudo -H npm install -g meteorite
