Lisk-sdk: Quickstart guide project issue.

[ScrewchMcMuffin]

Summary

I was reading the docs and found the Quickstart guide https://lisk.com/documentation/lisk-sdk/quickstart.html. I followed the instructions.

const { Application, genesisBlockDevnet, configDevnet } = require('lisk-sdk'); 

const app = Application.defaultApplication(genesisBlockDevnet, configDevnet); 

app 
    .run()
    .then(() => app.logger.info('App started...'))
    .catch(error => {
        console.error('Faced error in application', error);
        process.exit(1);
    });

Expected behavior

Run the default application of LISK-SDK.

Actual behavior

Which version(s) does this affect? (Environment, OS, etc...)

• (OS) Ubuntu 18.04.
• nvm v0.35.2
• node v14.7.0
  I also tried with pnpm v6.2.1

// package.json
{
  "name": "lisk-hello",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "lisk-sdk": "^5.1.0"
  }
}

I have the same issue.
Somebody founds some workaround?

[shuse2]

I think it's because of the node version. Could you try using node.js 12.x?

[artbase]

I've tried it on node v12 and now it works.
Thanks!
