Thank you! Let me check....
FYI same error in Node 7.10.1
What OS are you running on? I tried on Mac OS 10.12 and can't reproduce. Tried via nvm, nodeenv, and native node install.
Yes I'm just seeing now there's some leaky stuff happening with my nodeenv -- it's trying to load some way older socket.io
package outside of the env that is in my home folder. No idea how or why. I erased it and everything is working.
Sorry!
No prob, good that's working :)
Hi everyone,
There are two things I'm having a problem with when installing according to the instructions in the README. First, it's unclear which version of node is required when running the initial download and bash script. I've been using LTS (6.10) and when first trying to install I got a warning saying I needed to use 7 or higher.
I then installed 8.6. The install worked, but starting didn't:
It seems that
EventEmitter
has been deprecated in node 8, and that socket.io is in its current state no longer compatible.This might not be a big deal, but I wanted to inform you. Node 8 should be LTS sometime this month if they stick to the schedule, and it's definitely on the socket.io people to keep their stuff up to date. I think a good start would be to indicate which node version is required somewhere in the README instructions.
