Unexpected token { while running `textlint --rule textlint-rule-ginger readme.md`

I've installed textlint and textlint-rule-ginger globally via npm. However, when I run textlint --rule textlint-rule-ginger readme.md, I get an Unexpected token { error. Here is the stack trace:

I'm using textlint@7.3.0 and textlint-rule-ginger@2.1.0. All the other plugins of textlint seem to run fine.

Resolved by upgrading nodejs. I had an older version of nodejs.
