Problems with gulp init

Hi all -- I'm attempting to complete the tutorial, and I'm running into a snag at part two, step 7. When I attempt the 'npx gulp init', I receive the following errors:
~/uswds-tutorial dooleywm $ npx gulp init
[16:12:26] Using gulpfile ~/uswds-tutorial/gulpfile.js
[16:12:26] Starting 'init'...
[16:12:26] Starting 'theme'...

Here's the contents of my gulpfile.js:
const uswds = require('@uswds/compile');
uswds.paths.dist.theme = './_theme';
exports.init = uswds.init;
exports.compile = uswds.compile;
exports.watch = uswds.watch;
Appreciate your help!
I am running into the same problem.
@wayne-dooley-nih I searched the error messaging we were getting: TypeError: paths.src.theme.replaceAll is not a function and came upon this page. It said that often this error is received when the node.js version is not up-to-date.
So then I ran node --version and saw that I was on version 14 of node.js and that there is version 17.4.0 released, so I followed the directions here to update my version of node.js, then tried running npx gulp init and then it worked!
Successful output:

I hope this helps you!
@kristenmyers -- Yep, that was it! I upgraded node version, and all is working well. Thanks for the help!
Thank you for sharing @kristenmyers!
completed the tutorial using node16 and didn't run into any issues.
btw, you can run nvm use at the root of any project that has a .nvmrc and know that it will be set to the correct version.
@thisisdano this should be safe to close.
