Install socket.io and not socket.io-client

socket.io-client is the client side library, not server side. You have to link it in your HTML instead of including it in your node.js file. It is socket.io library actually that is to be included server side. Read more on How To Do here.

Try running the following in the terminal at the directory of your package.json file:

npm i

npm i --save socket.io

  • npm i will install all the dependencies in your package.json file
  • If this dependency is not there you need to install it with npm i --save socket.io
