It's interesting. If you look at the core editions, they come in pairs,
like "tw.com" and "tw.com-server".
The "-server" version has the needed plugins in the tiddlywiki.info file:
```
"tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
"tiddlywiki/filesystem",
```
and also loads the rest of the edition via an these attributes:
```
"includeWikis": [
"../tw5.com"
],
"config": {
"default-tiddler-location": "../tw5.com/tiddlers"
}
```
So, unpacking a single-file wiki does not include the plugins required to
serve it via node.js "by default" because they do not, in fact, exist in
the wiki when it is unpacked.
It's a neat way to organize things, because then you can call single-file
build targets from the command line with Node & be sure the single-file
Wiki generated will not error out when it is opened (as those plugins
display an error if there is no backend to communicate with).
I honestly had to re-think all of my node wiki's structures when I figured
this out.
Best,
