The official tldr repo has removed the index.json. So after you cloned the new fresh repo or when you add some new pages, you should rebuild the index.json via the command:

$ tldr reindex

Does this solve the problem?

Cool, this worked and tldr is working as expected. :smile:

I think this should be mentioned in the FAQ for people who started using it early/unaware of the changes.

Closing.
