/usr/local/lib/node_modules/observatory-cli/index.js:130

[blade1989]

On Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, I installed observatory, like so: npm install -g observatory-cli.

When executing the CLI, I get the following:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/observatory-cli/index.js:130
  promiseScan (site, options, method="post") {
                                    ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:417:10)

All the server updates have been installed.

Are there any news about this issue? do you know a workaround?

Same problem here in the official docker image of Ubuntu 16.04. Happy about any suggestions.
