How to create a default user on meteor?

Question

I want to create an admin user if no users exist. I tried it on a js file inside the server folder

Meteor.startup(function () {
  if(!Meteor.users.find().count()

I would suggest a /server/fixtures.js file. In this file, you can add your default user creation as such:

if ( Meteor.users.find().count() === 0 ) {
    Accounts.createUser({
        username: 'username',
        email: 'email',
        password: 'asdfasdf',
        profile: {
            first_name: 'fname',
            last_name: 'lname',
            company: 'company',
        }
    });
}
