Error - return Gekko version: v${util.getVersion()}

[Nargren]

Hi,
I have an older version of gekko running, just watching some markets. It works fine on BTCe. Yesterday I pulled the latest stable branch into a new directory and tried to set it up.

When running node gekko I get the following error:

nohup: ignoring input
/Software/gekko/core/util.js:92
    return  `Gekko version: v${util.getVersion()}`
            ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

Is this some version issue? Should I purge the old files (currently still running, in a separate directory)?
Thanks!

Your node is too old most likely. What is the output of the following command?

node -v

EDIT: So there is a check to see if you node is recent enough, but in this case Node was unable to even parse the file that has the check. I am closing this for now as I am sure that it has to do with your node version (I would recommend downloading the 4.4.5 LTS version).
