Adding node dependency to package.json

[olimart]

Hi, trying to add the octonode library here is what I did.

1. lineman new my-app
2. cd my-app
3. Added "octonode": "0.6.x" under devDependencies of package.json
4. npm install
5. lineman run
6. Added var github = require('octonode'); in hello.js
7. Open localhost:8000, inspect browser console. Error raise ReferenceError: Can't find variable: require

What am I missing to add node packages?

Lineman doesn't support loading node packages from your client-side code out of the box. 

For that you'd need to use browserify (which is still only experimentally supported). You can kick it off with npm i --save-dev lineman-browserify

@olimart You might look into Browserify (and lineman-browserify) for shimming node modules into the client-side build.
