title: How to install and run Telescope on Windows 7 (i.e. http://telesc.pe)
body: <p>I couldn't get Meteorite and <a href="http://telesc.pe" rel="nofollow">Telescope</a> running on windows 7, any <strong>ideas how should we do this</strong>?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Here's what I tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>installed Meteor on win7 using win.meteor.com </li>
  <li>tried to install Meteorite (following instructions on its Github page), but it threw
  couple errors (although it finished installation): </li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>

    "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.D efault.props" was not found. Confirm that the path
    in the  declaration is correct , and that the file exists on
    disk.</p>

  <ul>
  <li>cloned Telescope, then ran it with <code>mrt</code> from its folder, but got errors about missing dependencies of Meteorite. manually copied "router" and "page-js" packages to "Meteor/packages" as <a href="https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite/issues/65#issuecomment-11428236" rel="nofollow">suggested here</a>:</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But still, running <code>mrt</code> or <code>mrt run</code> exits without error. 
  However running with <code>meteor</code> command sometimes starts the server on localhost and then fails due to a missing file and sometimes cannot find/start MongoDB.</p>
