Unexpected token error

I apologize if this issue may have been fixed already but i cant seem to find a work around. im using visual studio on ubuntu 20.04 and I get this error when i run npm run build. i deleted everything and once again cloned the repo and tried npm run build without changing a single thing in the directory and i am still getting the issue. does anyone have a solution? below is the output from the terminal after running npm run build.

Thank you in advance!!!

Same issue here (npm -v 8.3.2 - node -v 16.9.1) Solved following these steps:

rm -rf node_modules && rm package-lock.json

npm update

npm install

node index.js or npm run generate

I had this exact same issue, the winning combination for me on Windows 10 (20H2 19042.1415) was npm 8.4.1 and node 16.9.1
