What's the difference between Meteor and Meteorite (mrt)?

meteor, meteorite

Solution

Update

Meteor 0.9 release rendered Meteorite and the `mrt` command obsolete. All new projects should use `meteor add` only.

Original answer

`meteor add` works only for packages issues officially by the Meteor team (here's the list). `mrt add` is a wrapper that works also for all community packages available from atmosphere.

Problem

For example, some sites tell me to use `mrt add accounts-ui` (using Meteorite, right?) and others say `meteor add accounts-ui`. From what I understand, Meteorite is just a version control / package manager. Is this correct? What is the difference between the two commands above?
