Cannot find module 'babel-runtime/helpers/typeof'

[csears]

Greetings,

I tried to install chromy, but got some warnings during the process. When I try to require('chromy') I'm getting the error Cannot find module 'babel-runtime/helpers/typeof'. Is babel-runtime a dependency?

Here's the output of the npm install and the error...

Hi @csears, thank you for reporting! Could you tell me your node version and OS?

[csears]

You bet. Node is v4.5.0. OS is MacOS Sierra 10.12.5.

I tried updating node to v8.4.0. That seemed to fix the Cannot find module 'babel-runtime/helpers/typeof' error, but it left me with a different error.

I suspected I may have multiple out-of-date node modules, so I decided to try installing Chromy with yarn instead... yarn add chromy That seems to have fixed my issue.

I would say this is not a Chromy problem, so I'm closing the issue. Sorry for the false alarm.
