Error Use of const in strict mode

Question

I'm working with node.js, and in one of my js files I'm using const in "strict mode". When trying to run it, I'm getting an error:

SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.

What is the best practice to do this?

Hello,

If this is happening in nodejs, it is due to the older version of nodejs. Update node by using,

1) Clear NPM's cache:

sudo npm cache clean -f

2) Install a little helper called 'n'

sudo npm install -g n

3) Install latest stable NodeJS version

sudo n stable
