Hello,

I have just cloned the repo, run npm install and npm run build which both executed successfully. However, when I run the utility with ./bin/syntax it gives me the following output:

[syntax-master]$ ./bin/syntax --help
syntax-master/bin/syntax:196
            const [reducePart, shiftPart] = table.splitSRParts(conflict);
                  ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token [

I am running Node v5.3.0 on Fedora 24 x64.

Hi,

Thanks for the report, it's fixed for ./bin/syntax in df41656 (and in 0.0.86, so executable syntax-cli from npm would work in Node 5).

However, a recommended version of Node is 6.*. If for development, some tests will fail in Node 5.* because of syntax errors, since use Node features which are available only since version 6. We can open a separate issue to make tests wok in Node 5, if upgrading to Node 6 is not easy on your server.

FYI: tests should pass in Node 5.* after 0f8b0ad, however a recommended version of Node for development is still 6.*.

I have tested in both Node v5.3.0 and v6.10.1 and it is working now. Thank you Dmitry!
