Meteor Ec2 Install

Overview

The Meteor EC2 installation script (version 1.1.0) provides a streamlined method to deploy Meteor applications on a fresh AWS EC2 Ubuntu Server, specifically targeting versions 0.6.0 and above. Designed for ease of use, this script automates the installation process on Ubuntu 12.10 and later versions, simplifying the setup for developers who want to focus on building rather than configuring their development environment.

With a straightforward setup process, developers can quickly push their Meteor apps to the server using Git, while also having the flexibility to configure their app's environment for different branches. Whether you’re working with a production or development branch, this script is tailored to ensure that your Meteor app is deployed efficiently and with minimal fuss.
