Cannot Run parse-server

[nubu]

Hey guys,

just pulled the newest version to my local drive and after npm install, I want to start the parse-server...

Always getting this error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/parse-server/lib/ParseServer.js:124
const {
^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token {
and so on ...

Any idea about this? Am I missing something?

Best Nico

A few suggestions that may be the issue. First, what is your node version? You can type node -v to get the version. As of 2.7.0, the minimum node version is 6.11.4.

Make sure you have the hidden files. Look at this issue: #4396

Can you post more information about your build system and exactly what you did when you upgraded the parse server?

As a test, I just did a clean download and install and it worked fine for me using node v9.2.0 with Bash on Windows 10 x64.

Here is what I did:

git clone https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server.git
cd parse-server
npm install
sudo npm install -g mongodb-runner
mongodb-runner start
npm start -- --appId APP_ID --masterKey MASTER_KEY
