"io is not defined" error when using MEAN.js

[skyserpent]

Hey everyone, I'm using socket.io@0.9.x and I have made a gist of my angular controller here:
https://gist.github.com/skyserpent/832f980ca9ed9ed30e4b

My JS assets are loaded like this:
...
'//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/socket.io/0.9.16/socket.io.min.js',
'public/lib/angular-socket-io/socket.js'

I have even included 'btford.socket-io' in Angular's 'applicationModuleVendorDependencies' but for some reason I get an error saying "io is not defined" in line 6 of the gist I uploaded.

Any help is much appreciated.

make sure you have socket.io client library: bower install socket.io-client --save

Thanks @Jasonshark that was the solution for me. I was trying to get this working in the Ionic Framework.

Closing, since this seems to have been resolved. It's also documented in the README.

This didn't fix my problem with this same error. I've reposted: #127

• make sure you have socket.io client library: bower install socket.io-client --save

This didn't fix my problem with this same error.

• including in index.html:
  script src="lib/angular-socket-io/socket.js"
• in app.js
  angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers', 'starter.services', 'starter.directives', 'btford.socket-io'])
• in services.js

.factory('seatStatusSocket',function(socketFactory){
var myIoSocket = io.connect(porturl); // io is not defined here, suddenly.

• It was working before, using a remote copy of the lib. When this error started, I changed index.html to link a local copy, as this remote version also received a Bad Gateway error (now fine, but still socket io is not defined as above).

• removed: script src="http://chat.socket.io/socket.io/socket.io.js"

• versions

  socket.io@1.3.7 node_modules/socket.io
  node --version
  v0.12.7
