I also got the same error when I was installing the hardhat:

let taskName = parsedTaskName ?? task_names_1.TASK_HELP;

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '?'

try this command on your terminal

nvm use 18
nvm install 18

basically above commands will increase your node.js and npm version

then try to install

npx hardhat

I have had a similar issue attempting to install hardhat via npx hardhat.

I found the solution from user I Like resolved this. Make sure you are using correct version of node. try nvm use 18

nvm install 18 
npx hardhat

and had success!

I also got the same error!

  ~ npx hardhat Unexpected token '?'

After i upgrade my nodejs version to v16.17.0 and npm version to 8.15.0, error is gone

Once the reported error is gone then you should see the below message
