npm install github --save

The async module is a utility module that provides around 20 powerful functions for working with asynchronous JavaScript. The async module is a control-flow module and will allow us to do operations over IO in a clean, controlled way.

npm install async --save

The moment.js is a library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates.
