Meteor is a full-stack JavaScript platform for developing web and mobile applications. The command "meteor" is used to interact with the Meteor framework and execute various tasks related to application development.

When you run the "meteor" command in your terminal/command prompt, it starts a local development server and compiles your application code. It also automatically installs any required dependencies and packages specified in your project's configuration files.

Some common tasks you can perform with the "meteor" command include:

1. Starting a meteor project: You can create a new Meteor project by running "meteor create" followed by the name of your project. This will set up the basic structure and configuration files for your application.

2. Running the development server: By simply running "meteor" in your project directory, it starts the local development server and displays the URL where your application can be accessed.

3. Managing packages: Meteor has a package management system that allows you to add, update, or remove packages from your project. You can use the "meteor add", "meteor remove", and "meteor update" commands to handle package management tasks.

4. Deploying your application: Meteor provides built-in deployment functionality. Running the "meteor deploy" command followed by your desired deployment name will deploy your application to Meteor's hosting service, making it accessible online.

5. Managing build settings: The "meteor settings" command allows you to manage settings specific to your Meteor application, such as environment variables and configuration options.

Overall, the "meteor" command is the primary tool for developing, building, and managing Meteor applications.
