Why am I getting an exception during installation\deployment in the Rest API Modular Input?

[kvaga]

Hello! I'm trying to install Rest API Modular Input application from the file rest-api-modular-input_15.tgz but having the following exception in splunkd.log:

And the application doesn't work. How can I solve a problem?
