The error is because there is no window object in node.js, since it's not running in a browser. You can try substituting the "global" object where "window" is used in the source code, but odds are it won't work the way you expect.

In general, I don't think c3.js is meant to generate server-side charts. Can you have your client code source c3.js & generate the charts instead? If it really is a server-side operation you need (e.g. you're trying to generate static images of charts, or you're running tests), you can use PhantomJS + phantomjs-node to mock a browser (and take screenshots, run unit tests, etc...). Either way, it'll need to be the "client" that loads c3.js and generates charts, not node.js.
