Unexpected token revisited

I tried to create an app with

neu create logon

and got

**/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@neutralinojs/neu/src/utils.js:42
return path?.replace(/^//, '');

Unexpected token**

Linux kernal: 5.4.0-122-generic
GNOME terminal version: 3.36.2
node.js version: v10.19.0
npm version: 6.14.4

A response to a similar query stated that the cause was an outdated node.js; so I ran

$ sudo apt install nodejs

at the terminal and got

nodejs is already the newest version (10.19.0~dfsg-3ubuntu1)

So what do I do now?

Thank you

I got the same error message when I ran

neu version

I re-ran

npm i -g @neutralinojs/neu

and got

**/usr/local/bin/neu -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@neutralinojs/neu/bin/neu.js

So it appears I didn't install neutralinojs successfully.

Hi there, it appears you have an old version of node running which uses a version the V8 engine that is not compatible with Neutralino CLI. The command you used to install it picked the latest supported by the distribution, so you need to do some things in the terminal to solve the problem.

There are several ways to update node on Linux, personally I like to use https://www.npmjs.com/package/n

Good luck!

That seems to have solved the problem. Thanks
