ReferenceError: Invalid left-hand side in assignment when importing @google-cloud/storage

I am getting error when I import @google-cloud/storage in nodejs, 

const gcs = require('@google-cloud/storage');

When I comment the line, everything works fine. Below is the error I get:

/home/trd/TRD/new-rapi/copy/676cb539092d21127ded33478d1073ab6886fc33/node_modules/pify/index.js:3 const processFn = (fn, opts) = ^^^^^^^^^^

You can try to import the library like this example

const {Storage} = require('@google-cloud/storage');
// Creates a client
const storage = new Storage();

A full example is in github quick start example

If the problem continue, maybe is related with your local environment I would recommend you try to set a clean development env in a linux VM and using Node.JS 10, this is in order to discard that the issue is related with any bad configuration.

You are declaring a constant while importing.

I recommend you should use

let gcs = require('@google-cloud/storage');

Replace "const" by "let" or "var". It should help.
