I grabbed the code from github and ran the example.js but got an error. I'm running on ubuntu and installed node through apt-get. This was the output I saw from node example.js

Do I have to do anything special to make this work?

Looks like template literals are not supported. This is Node prior 4.3.2, so try to install the latest Node (not from the software center).

Sweet, thanks. Didn't realize the version of node in ubuntu's package manager is crazy old.
