[benedikt-haug]

When running perf-top-1.0.0.0-LINUX on my debian buster installation I receive this error:

❯ ~/bin/perf-top-linux --dashboard ClusterOverview --endpoint testnode-qa001.server.lan:9600
pkg/prelude/bootstrap.js:1178
      throw error;
      ^

Error: File '/**/estop-release/node_modules/blessed/usr/xterm' was not included into executable at compilation stage. Please recompile adding it as asset or script.

xterm exists but it is somewhere else:

❯ which xterm
/usr/bin/xterm

I have no experience debugging node.js so that's all I can give you.

Please see #36
I can reproduce it also on version perf-top-1.4.0.0-LINUX

I ran into this problem with Ubuntu 20.04 and perf-top-1.6.0.0-LINUX.zip.

After a little digging I was able to able to find a couple possible solutions:

• Setting the TERM env var to xterm (ex. TERM=xterm ./perf-top-linux) which matches the env var from the amazon/opendistro-for-elasticsearch docker image. Ubuntu seemed to default it to xterm-256color.
• Adding the files from blessed as a pkg asset by adding the following line to package.json as mentioned Unable to package a project which includes blessed vercel/pkg#530 (comment)
  "pkg": { "assets": "node_modules/blessed/**/*" }
