Install Node and Modules
• Get Node.js from nodejs.org
• node-v0.10.26-x64
• Socket.io for real time communication
• moniker to generate random names

Install Node and Modules
• Create File „package.json“:
{
"name": "SocketioExample",
"version": "0.0.1",
"description": "SocketioExample",
"dependencies": {
"socket.io": "0.9.16",
"moniker": "0.1.2"
},
"author": "dev"
}
• Run „npm install“ in the diretory of your file
