Meteor, Blade + Windows 8

Introductions

Meteor is a hot new Node-based web development framework.
Blade is a templating language based on Jade, which is a bit similar to Haml.
Windows 8 is an operating system that no one but me likes.

Installation

I'm assuming you're already up and running with Node.
Meteor isn't officially supported on Windows yet, so you have to install it a bit differently than suggested on their docs. Fortunately, someone has created an .msi installer for us. Run it.
If you haven't done so,

npm install -g blade

. If "npm" isn't a registered command, check your Start Screen for "Node.js Command Prompt" and use that instead of that standard

cmd.exe

. It should have all the paths set up correctly for you.
Now find your

npm/node_modules/blade

and

Meteor/packages

folders. Mine are located at

C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\blade

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\Meteor\packages

respectively.
Inside the

node_modules/blade

folder there should be another folder called "meteor". Copy and paste this in-place to make a duplicate, then rename your copy to "blade". We want to rename it before we move it because there is a folder in the meteor packages called "meteor" already. Now cut-and-paste your new folder into Meteor/packages.
Now go into

npm/node_modules/blade/lib

and copy all the files inside there into your newly created

Meteor/packages/blade

.
Now edit

Meteor/packages/blade/package.js

and change this line:

blade = require('../../packages/blade/node_modules/blade');

To point to the proper node module, e.g.,

blade = require('C:/Users/Mark/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/blade');

That's it.

Adding blade to your Meteor project

Just

cd

into your project folder and

meteor add blade

.
Usage is explained on the official Blade wiki.
