Error: ssb-tangle require ssb-backlinks to be installed #547

When I run oasis now, via node src/index.js I get the error: Error: ssb-tangle require ssb-backlinks to be installed

I've tried cloning the latest code from this repo, and running rm -r node_modules; npm install and npm install ssb-backlinks, but still get the same error.

I also have an ssb-pub running on the same machine, which oasis says it connects with via TCP, before throwing the above error.

Any idea for how to debug on my end? or maybe its a bug?

update: when I turned off the sbot that oasis was connecting with, so that oasis started its own sbot, then it works for me

+1, I agree this is confusing. I've been considering removing support for connecting to external ssb services (#536) because of problems like this. Sorry you had to bump into it and it gave you trouble.
