Hi
I unzip the files and folders in a directory and run
npm install
node run start
The server crashed. Did I miss anything

PS D:\Programming\nodeJS\tutorial\ws\chatCord> npm run dev

Hi, I noticed that in the last version of the server.js from brad had the 'redis' package and much more. To get rid of this I used the code from 01Leviathan10 and it worked. Just need to update the package.json with the latest versions of packages like below and you are all set.
https://github.com/bradtraversy/chatcord/network/members

"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.18.2",
"moment": "^2.29.4",
"socket.io": "^4.5.4"

hey you need to install docker,
just add a file called docker-compose.yml in the root of your project

and add the snippet bellow inside the file

version: "3"

services:
  redis:
    image: redis:5
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"

make sure your docker desktop is up and running,

now run this command in your terminal

docker-compose up -d

and finally run the server

npm run dev

@bhaktitud I made a PR to fix Redis see: #61

@danielmeyer-hash if you follow the comment above you it works perfectly. Or clone the project with my PR and setup Docker desktop and it will work.
