Errors with "Run locally" and "Develop"

[rcasero]

Hi, following the instructions in "Run locally" on Ubuntu 17.10. I get the error:

~/Software/AIDA/dist$ node aidaLocal.js
/home/rcasero/Software/AIDA/dist/aidaLocal.js:7
async function checkForImages () {
      ^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token function

And when trying the "Develop" instructions, I get the error

~/Software/AIDA/dist$ npm run serve

Hi @rcasero,

I'm pretty sure this is down to using an old version of nodeJS.

The error message you posted above indicates you were running v6.11.4 and I can replicate the first error you received for running locally. I also get similar issues when trying the development builds.

Try grabbing the latest versions here, if there are still problems I'll dig a bit deeper!

Thanks, @alanaberdeen .

I've installed the latest (stable) version of node.js in Ubuntu with

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

This currently installs

$ node --version
v10.6.0

Now it runs correctly

~/Software/AIDA/dist$ node aidaLocal.js

Running AIDA at http://localhost:3000/
