But on the dev site, at https://tiddlywiki.com/dev/#Developing%20plugins%20using%20Node.js%20and%20GitHub, the instructions are different. They tell you to clone the github repo, and install the tw5.com edition, not the barebone server one. This is what fails, and twice, as I described in my post. First it fails to install the locally modified TW5.com edition, and then it fails to boot because it has the wrong path for the language tiddlers (and perhaps it would fail for other paths as well, but boot.js crashes). Regardless, I gave up on installing tw5.com and and now focusing on the barebone server edition. The next obstacle is how to convice tiddlywiki to recognize a plugin written externally (i.e. directly as a .js file in an external editor). There appears to be some magic that escapes me.
