As mentioned in this github issue : https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/issues/923 you have to downgrade the web3js version instead 1.0.0 use 0.20.0 (The current stable version is 0.20.0) or less.
Please try : npm install [email protected]

    Events doesn't work in lower version of web3. Commented Aug 6, 2018 at 15:15
  • That worked perfectly, is there any solution to install 'hooked-web3-provider'?

  • I used npm install [email protected] but it says found 39 vulnerabilities (2 low, 1 moderate, 36 high). I want to use web3-eth-accounts module through require("web3-eth-accounts") but it says module doesn't exist even after installation. Commented Sep 2, 2019 at 9:57
