When I try to add useraccounts:bootstrap to my meteor project, I receive the following error...
Error: Can't find npm module 'request'. Did you forget to call 'Npm.depends' in package.js within the 'http' package?
What can I do to fix this?

Your request is sparse with information, but it would seem to me like there's another error preventing meteor from building and thus, including that module. Have you tried running `meteor create` for a new app and then installing useraccounts:bootstrap? – thatgibbyguy Jan 18 '16 at 00:45

I just tried what you have suggested...created a new app, and added only useraccounts:bootstrap. I get the exact same error. – Serks Jan 18 '16 at 13:04

make a new app and then open `your-app-directory/.meteor/packages` in a text editor. from there, manually add `useraccounts:bootstrap` . Basically I'm just giving you troubleshooting steps. Without seeing the code of your app I can't do much for you. – thatgibbyguy Jan 18 '16 at 20:00

That's exactly what I did and it didn't work. I ended up following the instructions from [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31369872/meteor-wont-start-fibers-futures-js-throws-error-error-sqlite-corrupt-dat) and deleted the .meteor/package-metadata folder. This fixed the problem. Thanks – Serks Jan 18 '16 at 23:35

If you created a new app from scratch the problem your answer solves would not have been present. This is because nothing is in the package-metadata folder until meteor builds the app. – thatgibbyguy Jan 19 '16 at 02:25

hmm maybe my directory structure is not up to standard. The .meteor/package-metadata folder is actually outside of the new app's folder. So basically, even though I created a new app, another apps data is still in the package-metadata folder. So theres a main .meteor folder, and then theres a .meteor folder within each apps folder. – Serks Jan 20 '16 at 11:58
