SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.

[temple]

When executing in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS using legacy node js v0.10.25, it says:

$ gitp

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/git-pull-hook/node_modules/inquirer/node_modules/figures/index.js:2
const escapeStringRegexp = require('escape-string-regexp');
^^^^^

Is there any patch available?

It seems to be a node issue

And it seems to be a workaround:

Thank you for reporting. Will look into this next week!

So, this is caused by the fact that nodejs 0.10 doesn't support const. I have submitted issues at https://github.com/sindresorhus/figures/issues/22 . I am not sure whether other dependency packages have this problem though.

Meanwhile, why would you use nodejs 0.10? It's so old.

So, the issue I opened is closed. Basically, it's a won't fix there. I am considering to try packing tools like webpack (not sure whether it works for nodejs modules though). So that, all those upstream issues will be solved automatically.
