npm ERR! notarget No compatible version found: socket.io@'file:dependencies/socket.io'
Steps to Reproduce
Follow the steps as per installation guide of Pega Co-browse
Root Cause
Incorrect version of NPM (Node Package Manager) is used.
Resolution
Check the system requirements in installation guide.
The suggested Node JS version is 0.10.36 and the suggested NPM version is NPM v2.7.x.
NPM always gets installed along with Node JS. But, the NPM version that gets installed with Node 0.10.36 is an older version (some 1.x version).
User must explicitly upgrade the NPM to 2.7.x version. It is also important to not upgrade to any version other than 2.7.x.
To upgrade to 2.7.6, run npm install –g [email protected] at the console.
Updating to [email protected] resolves the reported issue.
