I do not know what causes the error, please help.

Answer 1

I got it by manually deleting all directories and links where the name started with "dev_bundle" inside the /.meteor/local directory.

Hope this helps!

Also update meteor to the latest version using meteor update , and then follow @henk's solution. It worked for me.
