How do I run this ? I am running:

node index.js

after installing the dependancies with npm) but all I get is:

var notifier = new Notification(); ^ TypeError: object is not a function at listAvailableStock (/Users/ilium007/index.js:48:17) at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (/Users/ilium007/index.js:25:4) at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:117:20) at _stream_readable.js:943:16 at process._tickCallback (node.js:419:13)
