i installed jhipster without errors. only those:

npm WARN deprecated npmconf@2.1.2: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm

└── generator-jhipster@3.1.0 

when i go into jhipster folder and try to run jhipster with yo jhipster, it gives error in the s tart. Why? I have all update

i tried to update yeoman and errors:

Answer 1

sudo apt-get install curl For Node.js v4

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_4.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Alternatively, for Node.js v5:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Answer 2

The doc recommends to use node LTS version, so 0.10.x is probably too old and does not support const keyword. I think the oldest version that could work is probably 0.12.x in case you can't upgrade to latest LTS.
