SyntaxError: Unexpected token react-native init

Hello I am getting an issue when trying to run react-native init.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

/Users/jordan/Projects/React/LiveInstagram/node_modules/metro-bundler/build/lib/TerminalClass.js:141 this._nextStatusStr = util.format(format, ...args);

Does anyone know how I can remedy this issue? Thanks!

Currently it works for me with node v8. My solution:

sudo npm install -g npm
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

There are compatibility issues in the updated react-native cli. Using the downgraded version solves this problem. $ react-native init [project name] --version 0.38.0

I had the same problem with nodejs v4, solve this by updating nodejs and npm. sudo purge nodejs npm curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

So I completely uninstalled Node then reinstalled it and react-native-cli and it worked correctly.
