Michael Herold 5b3578e58f #4751 - Explicitly mention install when cloning examples (#4758)
Preferably this installation wouldn't be necessary, but in lieu of a fix...

# or
yarn create next-app --example with-socket.io with-socket.io-app
```

## The idea behind the example
This example show how to use [socket.io](https://socket.io/) inside a Next.js application. It uses `getInitialProps` to fetch the old messages from a HTTP endpoint as if it was a Rest API. The example combine the WebSocket server with the Next server, in a production application you should split them as different services.
**Example:** [https://next-socket-io.now.sh/](https://next-socket-io.now.sh/)
