package.json

{
  "name": "iPhone6",
  "description": "CA",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "node-notifier": "*",
    "repeat": "*"
  }
}

The only way I could get this to work on my OSX installed node was to change the following:

var Notification = require('node-notifier');

to

var notifier = require('node-notifier');

and comment:

function listAvailableStock() {
//var notifier = new Notification();
