gkm 0.2.0 is based on an old version of eventEmitter2 (~0.4.13). I believe that starting with version 1.0.0, instead of exporting EventEmitter2 in the exports, they turned it into the exports (e.g., exports.EventEmitter2 = EventEmitter vs exports = EventEmitter).

My guess is that using the latest version of eventemitter2 (or ^6.4.4 in this case) is creating this conflict. If you don't need the latest eventemitter2, I'd suggest removing that dependency.

As I don't maintain this package anymore, I do not plan on fixing this issue or making further releases.
