Unexpected reserved word in 'await' runBot() in index.js

[lcvalves]

Hi! I was trying to deploy this bot on a Vultr Ubuntu 21.04 VPS but got the following error when executing sudo npm run start.

However, I tried running the bot on a Windows 10 system and it seemed to work fine but I really wanted to test this out on a Ubuntu VPS.

My index.js file is as presented in the repo.

Terminal output:

lcvalves@vultr:~/binance-dca-bot$ npm run start
`> binance-dca-bot@1.0.0 start` `> node ./src/index.js`
file:///home/lcvalves/binance-dca-bot/src/index.js:59
await runBot();
^^^^^

Any clues on how to fix this?

I see from the logs you are using node v12, please upgrade the version, Node 13+ is required to run the bot

Completely forgot about that requirement. Issue fixed. Thanks!
