Hi, Iā€™m working through a tutorial but cannot move on due to the following error when trying to deploy on my mac. Can any please suggest what might be wrong here? Thanks in advance.

what happens if you install it in a fresh folder with:

npm init --yes
npm install --save moralis-admin-cli

Thank you for the quick reply.

Tried in new folder, but sadly get the same result when trying to deployā€¦

Any other suggestions?
Thanks Terry

#4

it looks like it doesnā€™t recognise this syntax with *: async function* exploreWalkAsync
maybe it is something related to node version that you have
what node version you have on your system?

#5

SOLVED. Thank you cryptokid. Updated node and hey presto everything works!
