Как решить ошибку TypeError: xls is not a function at Object.?

Question

[berch]

Использую классический пример для пакета excel

Файл app.js:

var xls = require('excel')
xls('Sheet.xlsx', function(err, data) { 
	if(err) throw err
	// data is an array of arrays 
})

Получаю ошибку

[0] xls('Sheet.xlsx', function(err, data) {
[0] ^
