Is meteor just a large framework sitting on top of node or it's another platform just as node?

If it's a framework, why it comes with its own package manager: Atmosphere?

Can I integrate other npm packages easily in an meteor application?

  • @DocHolliday, thanks for pointing out another relevant question. But it doesn't answer the 2nd and 3rd question I asked. – Aaron Shen Oct 23 '16 at 01:46
  • Atmosphere is to some extent historical, but there are still many functional packages there which work well. Moving forward you should use npm packages. Install the packages using npm install (or meteor npm install...) and then refer to them with import... Style sheets can be imported the same way – Mikkel Oct 23 '16 at 01:58

    All of your questions are answered in detail in the documentation of meteor. – Christian Fritz Oct 23 '16 at 03:35

  1. Meteor is to Node as Rails is to Ruby. -- Source
  2. Atmosphere is a go-to place for all things meteor, from a package perspective.

  3. Try installing other npm packages via:

    meteor npm install --save [package name] and meteor npm install
