ReferenceError: window is not defined

See original GitHub issue

In Node REPL when I type const mermaid = require('mermaid'); it tell me

ReferenceError: window is not defined at new Log (/[my project]/node_modules/mermaid/src/logger.js:87:18) at Object.<anonymous> (/[my project]/node_modules/mermaid/src/mermaid.js:8:11) at Module._compile (module.js:571:32) at Object.Module._extensions…js (module.js:580:10) at Module.load (module.js:488:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:447:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:439:3) at Module.require (module.js:498:17) at require (internal/module.js:20:19) at repl:1:17

And I try to install it with these ways: npm install mermaid npm install git+https://github.com/knsv/mermaid.git but it still not work.

My Node version is v7.7.1, and npm version is 4.1.2

Unsure if this is expected, but it looks like mermaid v8.0.0 cannot be used in Node.js (window is not defined error). Using mermaid v7.1.0 seems to work fine though.

I wanted to use mermaid JS while transpiling markdown to html+js+css. During transpilation I do not have a browser environment available (normally).
