The simple solution is to navigate to the plugin's folder. In the above example you can see it is the Yolo plugin failing. so we will navigate to the /home/Shinobi/plugins/yolo.

cd /home/Shinobi/plugins/yolo

Then run the following

npm install [email protected]

In the future socket.io will not be used for communication and instead plain Websocket will and it should avoid this problem.
