Using the `HTTP[S]_PROXY` env var
This page describes how to use the Meteor command-line tool (for example, when downloading packages, deploying your app, etc) behind a proxy server.
Like a lot of other command-line software, the Meteor tool reads the proxy configuration from the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables (the lower case variants work, too). Examples of running Meteor behind a proxy:
- on Linux or Mac OS X
export HTTP_PROXY=http://user:[email protected]:5678 export HTTPS_PROXY=http://user:[email protected]:5678 meteor update
- on Windows
SET HTTP_PROXY=http://user:[email protected]:5678 SET HTTPS_PROXY=http://user:[email protected]:5678 meteor update
