Gatsby: Gatsby Cli error - SyntaxError: Unexpected token

[9gaurav]

Description

Installed gatsby-cli for the first time. And ran command "gatsby new"
It throws an error.

I tried uninstalling-reinstalling. As well as installing older versions.
But the issue persists.

None of the gatsby commands are working.

Steps to reproduce

npm install -g gatsby-cli

gatsby new gatsby-site

Produces error

Expected result

Should create new webapp directory with basic gatsby setup.

Actual result

gaurav$ gatsby new gatsby-site
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/gatsby-cli/node_modules/configstore/index.js:26
                                ...defaults,
                                ^^^

Found the cause. Node version was old. Problem fixed as I updated Node to latest.
