I follow this instruction https://docs.meteor.com/install.html#old-versions-m1 to install METEOR@2.12 but when I ran meteor --version I got this “Z_DATA_ERROR”:

/Users/macbookpro/.meteor/packages/meteor-tool/.2.13.0.yk4rw8.bheh++os.osx.x86_64+web.browser+web.browser.legacy+web.cordova/mt-os.osx.x86_64/dev_bundle/lib/node_modules/meteor-promise/promise_server.js:218
      throw error;
      ^

Hi, this error is related with the version of meteor you are running. Its actually a known issue in meteor. Anyhow, the easy solution is the following :

This will install version 12 that does not show the issue.
