@nhubbard apiconnect doesn't support node 6.x yet. Can you try with other versions?

jannyHou commented 7 years ago

@nhubbard Also the following link contains OS, hardware, prerequisites, etc.. of apiconnect: http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/softwareReqsForProduct?deliverableId=D0880A20256111E5ABE72E1847D16897#!

You can find supported nodejs versions under "prerequisites"
