[Django]-Error: Cannot find module 'socket.io/node_modules/redis' on Mac

Running npm install socket.io installs the latest version from npm which is now 1.1.0. Your tutorial uses version 0.9 and a lot changed from that to 1.0, including how to use the Redis adapter. Since the tutorial does not use a package.json to manage the dependencies you ended up with wrong version.

You can either upgrade your server code to work with latest socket.io (for which you need to install socket.io-redis) or check the latest version from the 0.9 branch by running npm view socket.io versions and then install npm install socket.io@0.9.17.

And please remove the global installations, they will cause you gray hair later (npm uninstall -g socket.io).
