Unable to run telescope / meteor - node.js

Question

Im trying to follow the instructions from http://www.telesc.pe/docs/installing-telescope/
Managed to install node.js and npm using the link on the page. I have also installed meteor and meteorite. I have also pulled the latest update using git clone git#github.com:TelescopeJS/Telescope.git
I can can run another meteor app. (like a demo 'myapp')
But when I try and launch meteor from inside the 'telescope' folder, I get the following:

static-239:telescope shwaytaj$ meteor
[[[[[ ~/telescope ]]]]]

Answer 1

Seems like you were using sudo too much. Make sure that you're the owner of all files within ~/.npm and ~/.meteorite, so basically
sudo chown -R username:username ~/.npm ~/.meteorite

Answer 2

You're probably getting this because you did:
sudo npm install -g meteorite
If you do sudo mrt in the teloscope app folder it will probably run fine.
If you want to resolve the issue you will need to fix your permissions, you can do:
sudo chown -R whoami ~/.npm
