Unknown authentication strategy passport

I have setup a MEAN.IO app using the base template and am attempting to add Windows Live and Yahoo passport authentication dependencies.

I have npm installed both dependencies and set up the code (see below) just like the other passport schemes like Facebook and Google (which came pre-installed and are working).

passport.js:

YahooStrategy = require('passport-yahoo-oauth').Strategy,
WindowsLiveStrategy = require('passport-windowslive').Strategy,
GoogleStrategy = require('passport-google-oauth').OAuth2Strategy,

// Use windows live strategy
    passport.use(new WindowsLiveStrategy({
        clientID: config.strategies.windowslive.clientID,
        clientSecret: config.strategies.windowslive.clientSecret,
        callbackURL: config.strategies.windowslive.callbackURL
      },
      function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
        User.findOne({
          'windowslive.id': profile.id
        }, function(err, user) {
          if (user) {
            return done(err, user);
        }
        user = new User({
          name: profile.displayName,
          email: profile.emails[0].value,
          username: profile.emails[0].value,
          provider: 'windowslive',
          windowslive: profile._json,
          roles: ['authenticated']
        });
        user.save(function(err) {
          if (err) {
            console.log(err);
            return done(null, false, {message: 'Windows Live login failed, email already used by other login strategy'});
          } else {
            return done(err, user);
          }
        });
      });
    }
  ));

user routes (server/users/routes.js)

// Setting the windows live oauth routes
app.route('/api/auth/windowslive')
  .get(passport.authenticate('windowslive', {
    failureRedirect: '/login',
    scope: ['wl.signin','wl.basic']
  }), users.signin);

app.route('/api/auth/windowslive/callback')
  .get(passport.authenticate('windowslive', {
    failureRedirect: '/login'
  }), users.authCallback);

I keep getting Error: Unknown authentication strategy "windowslive" and Error: Unknown authentication strategy "yahoo" however the facebook and google routes work fine. Any idea why? Are there any other steps needed to configure new Passport strategies?

Try adding this to your passport.use statement:

passport.use('windowslive', new WindowsLiveStrategy({
