I'm not sure if the supported Node.js version is still 6. If that is the case, everything works as supposed.

You can either downgrade your Node to >= 6.2.2 && < 7.0.0 or use yarn install --ignore-engines after the initial installation fails and see if it works without any compatibility issues.

Could you give feedback if you run into the problem #2694 afterwards?

We should change it to be >= the latest acceptable 6.x.x version, probably. I wouldn't be against making the minimum node version in the 8.x.x range either, since it's LTS now.

[albert-92]

@Awk34 That sounds reasonable. I'll test it with the latest LTS release 8.10.0 and report if i find any compatibility issues.

@albert-92 in the project the gulpfile.babel.js was not found after run the generator.. i guess that for install the 5.0.0-rc-0 you need to use node >= 8 so there is no reason to downgrade Node

[albert-92]

@daton89 upgrade to 5.0.0-rc-1, the gulpfile.babel.js problem is fixed there and then run yarn install --ignore-engines if you want to use node 8.

It looks like generator-angular-fullstack works with either node 6 or node 8 just fine.
