Object #<Object> has no method 'execSync' in user-startup module

This error occurred when running hotel for the first time after installing it globally.

hotel start

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/hotel/node_modules/user-startup/lib/startup/darwin.js:34
  cp.execSync('launchctl load ' + file);
     ^

The issue seems to be with user-startup module, and it looks like an old version is being used in hotel.

npm version: 1.4.21
node version: 0.10.30

Hi @sawant,

Unfortunately, Node 0.10 is not supported by hotel. execSync was introduced in Node 0.12.
You need at least Node 0.12, but I would suggest upgrading to Node 5 which is the current stable release.

Personally I like to use https://github.com/creationix/nvm to install Node.

Aah my bad! Didn't realize that. Thank you @typicode .
