indeed - we make some assumptions because it is very hard to
anticipate all possible ways of installing js_of_ocaml. If you are
under a POSIX system (e.g. Linux or Mac OS) then maybe it is
enough if you do "locate js_of_ocaml" in the terminal. (You must
have locate installed, it often comes by default, but not always.)
This should show you the path to js_of_ocaml on your system.
A shorter option with locate is e.g. "locate pa_js.cmo", you can
also search your system for the pa_js.cmo file in many other ways.
I hope this helps to find your js_of_ocaml - I'd be happy to add a more
general solution to the tutorial, but the OPAM websited so not seem to
give any direct hints where the OPAM packages are placed, so I don't
know how to do this for now. I still hope you will locate your packages
without problems, do not hesitate to write if you need anything,

Best regards!
