ReferenceError: Promise is not defined

[eximius313]

If you are using Debian 7 (Wheezy) you probably have NodeJS in version 0.10.29
Running autoprefixer on this version causes following exception:

[info] CoffeeScript compiling on 1 source(s)
[info] LESS compiling on 4 source(s)

In order to make autoprefixer work, you need to do (as root):

#curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_0.12 | bash -
#apt-get install nodejs=0.12.9-1nodesource1~wheezy1

as this post states.
Note that you must specify correct version. Without it the default (old) one will be installed.
