"SyntaxError: Unexpected token <" when pressing space

Does how2 require a min version of node?

I did how2 scp from remote, and then pressed Space:

$how2 scp from remote
scp - How to copy a file from remote server to local machine?

The syntax for scp is:

If you are on the computer from which you want to send file to a remote computer:


   scp /file/to/send username@remote:/where/to/put

Here the remote can be a FQDN or an IP address.

On the other hand if you are on the computer wanting to receive file from a remote computer:


   scp username@remote:/file/to/send /where/to/put

scp can also send files between two remote hosts:


   scp username@remote_1:/file/to/send username@remote_2:/where/to/put

So the basic syntax is:


   scp username@source:/location/to/file username@destination:/where/to/put

You can read man scp (http://linux.die.net/man/1/scp) to get more idea on this.


Press SPACE for more choices, any other key to quit.

Pull request #38 covers this issue, you need Node.js v4.0.0^ because of a string written in ES6 convention at the moment, but i think it will be resolved.

@Hammster This is a different issue. npm-latest got some weird json to parse from npmjs.org while trying to fetch if there is a new version from how2. ES6 is only in the tests.

@danqing does it still happen ? did you try again ? I might just try-catch that bit.
