Hi,
We're trying to test your package and have been trying the example that suit our needs. We've encountered a dependency error during install

(node:23689) [DEP0022] DeprecationWarning: os.tmpDir() is deprecated. Use os.tmpdir() instead.
npm ERR! install Couldn't read dependencies
npm ERR! package.json ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/Documents/testwebsocket/package.json'
npm ERR! package.json This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.
npm ERR! package.json npm can't find a package.json file in your current directory.

We then tried installing the latest version available but as could be expected, we got an error of a function not existing:

/home/pi/Documents/testwebsocket/webserver.js:31
sockjs_echo.attach(server);
            ^

TypeError: sockjs_echo.attach is not a function

    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:188:16)
    at bootstrap_node.js:609:3

We're using a raspberry pi and are trying to learn about websockets as part of a project, we are quite novice in this field, please pardon us if it's a silly issue. Could it be that our npm version is just outdated?

pi@raspberrypi:~/Documents/testwebsocket $ npm -v
1.4.21

Thanks in advance for any help

Best regards
