@DanielLopez-nbcuni I see you’re running Node 8, as Node 8 became unsupported the minimum version for Amplify CLI is Node 10. The problem probably you see is caused by ES6 compatibility in Node 8. Please upgrade to at least Node 10.

@attilah It would be great to document this change as well at https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/ the first thing I checked was the Node version but the setup was informing Node 8 as minimum version.
