Error you pasted still shows that you're upgrading to JHipster 6.5.0:

npm WARN notsup Unsupported engine for [email protected]: wanted: 
{"node":">=8.10.0","npm":">=5.6.0"} (current: {"node":"6.9.1","npm":"6.13.0"})

It's probably because you use jhipstercommand which was found globally (/usr/local/bin/jhipster -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/generator-jhipster/cli/jhipster.js) rather than locally in your project.

jhipster CLI was introduced in release 4.5.0 and so it did not exist in 3.9.1, try with yo jhipster:upgrade but I'm not sure target-version option existed at that time.

I looked at the upgrade generator source in 3.9.1 and it is very different from today.

I suspect that trying to use it will be really painful. Personally, I would rather generate a fresh 6.5 project from your .yo-rc.json file and your few entities and then report custom code into it manually, as it's a gateway most work should be in frontend.

Just saw that .yo-rc.json does not indicate client framework, so I suppose it's Angular 1, if true there's no upgrade path to Angular 2+. You also use SocialSignIn which is no longer supported.

If my above assumptions are right, I'm sorry but you can forget about using the upgrade generator.

As Gaël said, it's not possible to upgrade between 2 majors version...
You need to do it manually

I'm closing this as we can't do anything
