Meteor Up Lite

#### Quick Linux Meteor Deployments as a non-privileged user (eg. ubuntu) with no ssl support (not recommended for production).

Disclaimer

All credits should go to Arunoda and his team for his excellent contribution to the Meteor Community. This is a lite version of Meteor-Up (mup) and please feel free to share your comments, suggestions and issues on github. To prevent conflict with the original version the command will be mupl, so you can install and use both versions.

#### Prerequisite
Follow the steps from 'Additional Resources' section to pre-install Nginx before using mupl to configure and start the web server on port 80.

Your meteor app will be deployed in the following path:

/home/ubuntu/meteor/

$3

npm install -g mupl

$3

Please follow the setup instructions from Meteor Up, and ignore all the ssl related configurations.
