I am trying to build a simple IRC bot for Twitch in Node.js with this framework https://github.com/Schmoopiie/twitch-irc that can connect to the API and check certain things, in this reference I will be checking the followers on the current channel the bot is located in. Except I am running into an error, I keep getting this error logged below.

[31mcrash[39m: ReferenceError: $ is not defined

This is the code that I am using to run, in order to check the API

var irc = require('twitch-irc');

var colors = require('colors');

var jQuery = require('jQuery')

var jsdom = require(jsdom);

var window = jsdom.jsdom().parentWindow;



jsdom.jQueryify(window, http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js, function () {

  var $ = window.$;

  $(body).prepend(<h1>The title</h1>);

  console.log($(h1).html());

});



// Calling a new client..

var client = new irc.client({

    options: {

        debug: true,

        debugIgnore: ['ping', 'chat', 'action'],

        logging: true,

        tc: 3

    },

    identity: {

        username: 'BotName',

        password: 'oauth:Code'

    },

    channels: ['#my', '#first', '#connect', '#channels']

});



// Connect the client to server..

client.connect();



client.addListener('chat', function(channel, user, message) {

    if (message.indexOf('!followers') === 0) {

        var channels = channel

        channels = channels.replace('#', '');

        $.getJSON('https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/channels/' + channels + '.json?callback=?', function(data) {

            var followers = data.followers

            client.say(channel, Current Followers:  + followers);

            console.log(Followers for  + channel +   + followers);

        });

    }



});

I have been attempting to get this refferenceerror to go away for hours, but I am just not familiar enough with using JS and JQ outside of the browser environment to produce any results, any insight would be much appreciated.
