The best one liner for what MEAN stack is given in the following picture.
MEAN stack is more like LAMP.
M = MongoDB
E = ExpressJS
A = AngularJS
N = NodeJS
There has been a lot of development from Google for the AngularJS and NodeJS. They are minimalistic and javascript based, for now cutting edge web development tools.
For installing MEAN stack in ubuntu, follow the commands to set up your MEAN Stack. I deployed my server in Digitalocean which is like my obsessed service for cloud deployment.
