4. IPFS

• GO-IPFS

GO-IPFS

You will need to install GO and build IPFS locally to ensure it's using the latest features

You would want to launch it with: ipfs daemon --enable-pubsub-experiment

• JSIPFS - Uses port 5002 by default

While it's not 100% on parity with GO-IPFS, it seems to work and supports orbit.

To launch you would need to use jsipfs instead

npm i -g ipfs

5. Mocha

npm i --save mocha
