Meteor add package not copying files

Question

Meteor add package not copying files

I just installed meteor.

However, I am trying to add some packages to my app but when I run meteor add backbone it just says:

backbone: A minimalist client-side MVC framework

But my directory does not change -> no new files get added.

$ meteor --version
Meteor version 0.4.2 (19e42c4ec8)

javascript
node.js
meteor

Check your {project-path}/.meteor/local/build/app/packages/. You should have a directory for backbone created there (containing backbone.js), ready to be used. You don't need to link the script in the HTML-file, try to call Backbone from the client console while running the app.
