connection fail to connect mongodb in node application

Question

I have an error while starting up server with node server.js. The error details are here:

path.existsSync is now called `fs.existsSync`.

Can anyone can help me to solve it? Thanks,

You'll need to make sure you have an instance of mongodb up and running. Also, did you run "npm install" in the directory your attempting to run "tower server" in to install design.io and all the other packages tower needs? Looks like that's part of the problem.
