Not sure if you're still struggling with this or need a fix, but it looks like you're running a newer version of Node than what the package supports. I'd try using nvm to go to Node version >=6.0 of <7.0 like the error message suggests.

[lukepighetti]

Thanks for the quick fix! I won't be able to confirm if it works for me since I'm no longer using this project. I don't feel comfortable closing this issue so I'll leave that decision up to you. Thanks!

[mitchell-merry]

Hi, I can confirm that this fix works.

[mmorley0395]

Had the same issue, confirming the fix works.

To leave a breadcrumb for anyone else lost here, here's how to install NVM. Once I had it set up, I used 6.5.0 node version and it worked.
