[kravenoff42]

Just ran into the exact same issue

ec2-user:~/environment/portfolio $ awsmobile init [project ID]                                                                                                                           

/home/ec2-user/.nvm/versions/node/v6.13.0/lib/node_modules/awsmobile-cli/lib/init-steps/s2-choose-strategy.js:104

Here are the versions I've got:

npm v3.10.10 Node v6.13.0 create-react-app v1.5.2 awsmobile-cli 1.0.21

let me know if there any other info I can get you to help

We obviously mixed two issues here. One issue is a bug that has already been fix by the latest release v1.0.21 The other issue is because the node version is too old, and it does not support the async/await syntax. We suggest to use node version 8 and above.

closing the issue, feel free to open other issues for questions or bugs.
