the fs/nffs

[Nges B <ng...@gmail.com>]

Hello,
I downloaded the the newt binary and placed it inside my lerva directory.
Now I have created my_app .
also ran the command
$ ./newt pkg search fs
and got the following output.

Installed package project/ffs2native@<nil>
Installed package fs/nffs@0.8.0
Installed package fs/fs@<nil>

I now  proceed to run the following command
    $ ./newt pkg install fs/nffs
 and instead of getting the installation of the fs/nffs I get and
error saying the packages were not found.
please where am I going wrong??

In which directory did you run newt package install?  You would need to 
run it in the my_app directory in order to have it work.

When you do that, remember to make sure to add larva as a remote package 
list for the installation:

$ cd my_app
$ newt app add-pkg-list larva 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-larva
Downloading pkg-list.yml from 
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-larva/master... ok!
Verifying pkg-list.yml format...
  ok!
Package list larva successfully installed to application.
$
$ newt pkg search fs
Package list larva has package project/ffs2native@0.0.0
Package list larva has package fs/nffs@0.8.0
Package list larva has package fs/fs@0.0.0

Then you can use newt package install.  You'll also want to install the 
fs/fs package, which provides an abstraction of filesystem access 
routines for nffs, which is a specific implementation of the file system.

Cheers,
