Description

As title, I try installing solid-server and I got the following warning deprecated message:

...
npm WARN deprecated nodemailer@3.1.8: All versions below 4.0.1 of Nodemailer are deprecated. See https://nodemailer.com/status/
npm WARN deprecated text-encoding@0.6.4: no longer maintained
npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8: Use uuid module instead
npm WARN deprecated coffee-script@1.12.7: CoffeeScript on NPM has moved to "coffeescript" (no hyphen)
...

It seems that the solid-server depends on the deprecated dependencies.

I think we should consider these packages. Using the suggested new package instead if possible.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the dependencies used when installing solid-server and reproduce the reported npm warnings. Determine whether the deprecated packages can be replaced without breaking the server, then verify that installation no longer reports these deprecated dependencies and that existing behavior remains intact.
