I'm wondering if there's a way to deploy Meteor apps in a way that someone could download it, unzip it, then run it so that basically it runs Mongo, runs a Node.js web server, and opens up the browser to (e.g.) http://localhost:4040 where the app will then run. All in one shot, fully self-contained. So no need to put it on a Linux server, install Mongo, set env vars, all that stuff.

1Maybe you could make it work with [node-webkit](https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit) – solarc Nov 13 '14 at 04:09

I think this could be possible with Electron (formerly Atom-Shell). There is tutorial on medium.com and a package called meteor-electron.
