@iposton I changed the mongoskin version in my monk dependencies:

This is in my package.json inside node_modules/monk: “dependencies”: { “debug”: “*”, “mongoskin”: “^1.3.20”, “mpromise”: “0.5.1” }

Alternatively, just navigate to node_modules/monk in your shell, then do: npm uninstall mongoskin --save npm install mongoskin@1.3.20 --save

This will automatically change your mongoskin version and update the package.json.

This gets Monk to work. Monk requires Mongoskin and it seems that the latest push of Mongoskin is broken due to the NativeClass error here. So changing to 1.3.20 will tell npm to pull the previous working version of Mongoskin, which Monk can work with.

Hope that helps.
