Thoughts or fix suggestions?

What node version are you at? The required version for this is at least 4.x.

Thanks for the quick reply 👍 Using Node 0.10.22. The install command to install is simply npm install grunt-shell.

Can npm detect the node version and install the compatible/old version of grunt-shell v1.3.1?

The first question to ask is: 'Why are you still using such an ancient version?'. I really suggest upgrading to the latest LTS (4.6.x).

Can npm detect the node version and install the compatible/old version of grunt-shell

No, you will have to do this manually.

@SamVerschueren Thanks! I'm just using node for grunt tasks only. So keeping up with the Kardashians was not a high priority... 👍 thank you!
