how do I install a previous version of meteor JS?

Question

I'm trying to host a meteor app that uses an old version of meteor. Every time i try to start the app it will get somewhat through the process of installing the tool, and then i see a message such as:

Killednloading [email protected]...          -                                     

(note how killed somehow overwrites the downloading part of the command line)

Is there a reliable way to install the meteor tool at a specific version?

Answer 1

EDIT:

The Meteor team added a release parameter to their download endpoint. Now you can simply specify the desired version:

curl "https://install.meteor.com/?release=1.3.3.1" | sh

For Windows, a version parameter exists for the choco installer:

choco install meteor --version 1.3.3.1

Original solution

You can use sed for that. Insert it in the middle of curl and sh:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sed 's/1.4/1.3.3.1/' | sh

That will replace the release 1.4 (current version) to 1.3.3.1
