Error while Running the Server:TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined

[PraveenkumarDonga]

Hi!
I have built the server from the source.
while running it using command "node server"
I am getting the bellow error.
info: Starting server
/home/smartron/mediacenterjs/node_modules/socket.io/lib/store.js:35
Store.prototype.proto = EventEmitter.prototype;
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined

Could any one please help me with this?

EventEmitter.prototype is deprecated in newer Node versions. I need to rewrite so it uses require('events'). A temp work around is to use a older Node version. Thanks for poiting this out!

Reading this in 2020 - sad face. I guess this will not happen?
