Change share version in package.json to 0.6.x. instead of github master

When I attempt to run plunker_collab I'm getting:

/Users/USER/SOMEDIR/plunker/plunker_collab/index.coffee:33
  model = sharejs.server.createModel({
                         ^

Doing a bit of sluething, I suspect that perhaps line 25 of index.coffee should not be

model = sharejs.server.createClient

but instead should be

model = sharejs.server.createModel

But if I make that change, I get a different error:

/Users/USER/SOMEDIR/plunker/plunker_collab/node_modules/share/node_modules/livedb/lib/index.js:83
    throw new Error('Missing or invalid snapshot db');
          ^

Try changing the share version in package.json to 0.6.x. It was probably a bad idea of mine to use the github master.

Hmmm... I assume you mean ShareJS?

I changed line 22 of package.json to

"ShareJS": "0.6.x",

and did an npm install. I got:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/ShareJS
npm http 404 https://registry.npmjs.org/ShareJS
npm ERR! 404 'ShareJS' is not in the npm registry.
npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it
npm ERR! 404 It was specified as a dependency of 'plunker_collab'
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, or http url, or git url.

However then I did a bit of digging and decided this was what we needed

"plunker-share": "0.6.x",

But then I get this:

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/plunker-share
npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/plunker-share
npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: plunker-share@'>=0.6.0-0 <0.7.0-0'

npm ERR! notarget This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.

(forgive me, I'm not a node / npm guy so this is new to me)

...oops, you did say "share". Using:

"share": "0.6.x",

and then npm install installs fine, and collab now starts too. Cool.
