Crash on fresh install

[Tarang]

I downloaded ot-demo and ran npm install to get all the dependencies installed

then ran

node backends/node/server.js

and got back

/Users/user1/Downloads/ot-demo-master 2/backends/node/server.js:33
var socketIOServer = new ot.EditorSocketIOServer(str, [], 'demo', function (so
                     ^
TypeError: undefined is not a function
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/tarang/Downloads/ot-demo-master 2/backends/node/server.js:33:22)

    at Module.runMain (module.js:492:10)
    at process.startup.processNextTick.process._tickCallback (node.js:244:9)

So I tried getting the ot.js bit and bundled it in so I changed var ot = require('lib/index.js') but then I get a couple of other errors (HTTP GET route /ot isn't found), so I'm not sure how to use this correctly.

The demo depends on the most recent (not yet released) version of ot.js. Run this to update the dependency:

rm -R node_modules/ot
git clone https://github.com/Operational-Transformation/ot.js.git node_modules/ot

The demo tried to connect to a backend that uses simple HTTP requests by default unless you append #socketio to the URL. The node server, however, doesn't support this backend, which is why you got the HTTP error. I've changed the default behaviour in the repo. The demo should work after you do a git pull origin master.
