"The filesystem is not working"

[bhsuarez]

I'm getting an npm error when I do npm start

make_http_index | json > filesystem-index.json sh: make_http_index: command not found

Is this an NPM error?

I figured it out. Here you state that [email protected] is currently assumed to be installed globally but in the dependencies list, you put [email protected]. I guess that wasn't a good assumption cuz I've never done anything with browserfs before and once I changed the dependency value to the 2.0.0 version, the error didn't show up on npm start

Is there a reason for the discrepancy? If not I will do a fork.

I had patched [email protected], which is why I didn't want to upgrade, but I still needed the make_http_index CLI only available in [email protected]. That's how I came to depend on two separate versions of the same package.

I've now documented this on the readme, and I'm working on migrating to ZenFS, a fork of BrowserFS.

I guess I could have also used package aliases to avoid needing a global install, since I only needed the command from one of the versions, and the other version didn't have the command. That's assuming npm 6.9.0 was out at the time.
