Vuepress Unexpected Token

I recently installed vuepress globally with 

npm install -g vuepress

And when I run vuepress -v it shows 0.10.1
But when I run vuepress dev it shows:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/vuepress/bin/vuepress.js:17
const { dev, build, eject } = require('../lib')
  ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

Solution

  • I had the same problem just now and it was caused by an outdated node js version.

    Maybe you should check you node version with node -v

    According to https://vuepress.vuejs.org/

    VuePress requires Node.js >= 8.
