Update node on armv6

[iteratec-ffa]

Installing meteor as described in 'Quick start' installs node v0.10.45 on the Raspberry Pi B+ (armv61)
However, I have installed node v8.11.4 separately.

Is it possible to just copy over the newer version?
Or is there another recommended way to update the meteor node version, since meteor update doesn't work for the embedded node?

Hi @iteratec-ffa

The embedded node release is likely what meteor shipped with meteor 1.4. So I am not sure about the issues when just changing the node version. But give it a try and replace the the node and npm binaries.

Good luck
Tom

Tom,
thanks for your prompt answer.

Just checked...
Meteor 1.3.4.1 was shipped with node v0.10.45
Meteor 1.4 was shipped with node v4.4.7

What is the state of the branch release-1.4-universal-beta? Seeing, that there have been no commits for a couple of years...

@mttstt: Thanks for the hint.

However, does not work out of the box:
generate-dev-bundle.sh completes sucessfully.
But when starting meteor the first time, I get errors with repect to babel:
ReferenceError: Using remove Babel 6 option: .sourceMapTarget [...]

Any idea?

Sorry it was working with Meteor 1.5.
I am not able to help you.
