Syntax error when following tutorial

When following the tutorial, I get a syntax error.

Package.json: { “name”: “next-version”, “version”: “1.0.0”, “description”: “”, “main”: “index.js”, “scripts”: { “dev”: “next” }, “keywords”: [], “author”: “”, “license”: “ISC”, “dependencies”: { “next”: “^6.0.0”, “react”: “^16.3.2”, “react-dom”: “^16.3.2” } }

Fixed by upgrading node. If you want to prevent this, check the node version if it is possible and prompt user to upgrade.

@MartinReiche I think you are better off opening a new issue requesting support for the version you need pointing to the fact that alot of users probably use Google Cloud Functions. I am not an insider in the project. I read some on Google Cloud Functions when I saw your post and I am thinking that it will probably be upgraded. It is a bit weird that they do not follow latest version of node I think but there is probably a reason for it.
