require.extensions.hasOwnProperty is not a function

[Nacim Goura]

Hello,
I installed r2 on my computer with nodejs 8.4.0 but when I do a npm start I have this error.

/home/ngoura/projet/testnacim/node_modules/require-dir/index.js:93
            if (!require.extensions.hasOwnProperty(ext)) {
                                    ^

TypeError: require.extensions.hasOwnProperty is not a function

So I can't use this package 😞

it's not on npm yet ;)

that's a different package, working on getting the name.

@mikeal I'd say you should add a warning in the readme about this, just in case. Because of the "popularity" of this repo (3,000+ stars), people will assume require('r2') in the readme in fact means you own that package name on the registry.
