Error: Cannot find module './dist/index.js'

Since the merge of https://github.com/PrismarineJS/node-minecraft-protocol/pull/115, require('minecraft-protocol') fails for me with:

> require('minecraft-protocol')
Error: Cannot find module './dist/index.js'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)

I ran npm install in the node-minecraft-protocol directory but it only outputs a few warnings, no errors:

node-minecraft-protocol $ npm install
npm WARN package.json batch@0.3.2 No repository field.
npm WARN package.json ansi-color@0.2.1 'repositories' (plural) Not supported. Please pick one as the 'repository' field

if I revert 439c240247faedbbde46849d6be9a3f8721e3b6a, then the require() succeeds.

I am not familiar with server-side build processes but best I can tell this has to do with gulp, which seems to be supposed to generate ./dist/index.js. If so should a shell command to invoke gulp be added to the package.json install script or what?

Thanks, if I run npm install -g gulp && gulp then it does create the compiled dist files as expected.

Could this step be documented somewhere? (not obvious for someone who hasn’t ever used gulp)

tmp $ npm install minecraft-protocol
minecraft-protocol@0.13.2 node_modules/minecraft-protocol
tmp $ node
> require('minecraft-protocol')
{ createClient: [Function: createClient],
…

0.13.2 works great, thanks! I’m fine with closing this (unless you want to keep it open for https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/7627, but I’m at least no longer hitting it in my normal workflow using npm link)
