At least in Linux (And I think windows and Mac too) the serial port library needs to be installed FIRST.
I've also updated the reference to the latest johnny-five library.
To re-create the problem i'm fixing. clone this and just npm i it should install but then running the:
node motor-sumo.js
command will complain about serialport missing.
I'm on the latest Node 12.7
If anyone can confirm that on Mac or Windows this works just fine. then I suggest merging this as it'll help all the linux folks out there at the very least (if not fix future Mac or Windows issues)
