Use of "const" in strict mode

[awmartin]

This error occurs on a new install, after cloning the repo, running npm install, and running npm run hot-server.

server.js doesn't seem to be a true JavaScript file, regardless of the .js extension. In addition to the error below, there is a CoffeeScript-like closure using => and string interpolation using backticks. All of these prevent npm run hot-server from running. Is there a dependency not installed with npm install?

Which node version you are using? Now required node >=4.

That was it. Perhaps some documentation in the README or an error if the version doesn't match would help? Thanks.

Maybe we can use https://github.com/facebook/fbjs/blob/master/scripts/node/check-dev-engines.js and postinstall to improve this https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/package.json#L53
