Hi there @heysuneel,
It sounds like that your Node.js version might be outdated. You can check this with the following command:
node -v
Starting from Node.js version 12.14.1, you should not get that error.
You could use NVM to install specific Node.js versions:

Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
