I installed pdf-bot using npm but after installing whenever I run command
pdf-bot install I get following error:

/usr/lib/node_modules/pdf-bot/bin/pdf-bot.js:328
function openConfig(delayQueueCreation = false) {
                                       ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =

I don't know why it is throwing this error. Is it because of the node version?

I think you need to have Node V6+ to support default parameters. What version do you have?

maddy1512 commented

Oh! I have v4.4.4

esbenp commented

Yeah apologies. I might refactor those parts to support below versions below 6. Lets leave the issue open for now for visibility's sake

Ok and if possible you can also update README. Cheers!!

@esbenp https://github.com/westy92/html-pdf-chrome requires Node.js V6+ as well. I'd like to note that Node.js V4 is out of active LTS support and only has maintenance updates until April 2018. Support for Node.js v5 has already been dropped.

Yeah I actually tried to remove the defaults today but saw the tests failed from something in html-pdf-chrome. I guess I will just require Node v6+ :-)

Added d154257 and 6100fc0
