Allow node > 6 support #24

Closed aaronranard closed 7 years ago

aaronranard commented 7 years ago

The npm package has a postinstall script to make sure the node version is 6 and the npm version is 3, my local install fails because my node verson is 8.0.0

Is there a reason these are limited to exactly 6 and 3 and not greater than 6 and 3?

Yes we do that intentionally to ensure everybody has the same environment. We prefer to live on node LTS, so we'll jump to node 8 once it becomes LTS in October.

But you could use a tool like nvm to manage the node version we require along side node 8.0.0.

Thanks for the report, I'm going to close this issue though as it's per design

Cheers, thanks for the explanation.
