Will not run (fresh install) Windows 10 pro - node v - 6.0.0 npm -v 3.8.6

See original GitHub issue

Hi There,

I’ve tried running this project using node v8+ and then dropped down the node -v 6.0.0 to try and see if I could get it to work. I did this because it looked like the project was failing due to node version. But this makes no difference

npm ERR! Failed at the formio@1.25.8 version script ‘check-node-version --node ‘>=6.0.0’’.

I have mongo running fine.

Here is the error I am getting

C:\Users\nigel\formio>npm start

I found however that doing a ‘node main’ command works and performs the install successfully.

So there is something wrong with the node version checker at least

Any ideas would be be very appreciated. Kind regards
