How can I make this npm project works?

Question

I'm trying to make working a tool that I found on Github and I'm not able to get in touch with the creator of this.

I've this output:

const express = require('express'),
^^^^^

How can I do (I'm using windows)?

Thank you so much!

Have you tried updating the version of node you're using? There's also many different questions with this same problem. Please tell us what you have tried. — sytech, Oct 27 '16 at 19:44
Try the top answer on the question that is linked ? Does it not work ? You could remove all occurences of `'use strict'` by hand of course — , Oct 27 '16 at 19:45
I tried to remove 'use strict' but there are a lot of other issues. I think that the problem is about the version of npm and node.js, but I don't know how to update them on windows server. — KingFuzz, Oct 27 '16 at 19:59

To enable some of the ECMAScript 2015 features (including const) in Node.js 0.10 start your node program with a harmony flag, otherwise you will get a syntax error. For example:

node --harmony app.js

Can you tell me more? How can I do? – KingFuzz Oct 27 '16 at 20:02
@KingFuzz the same way you start `node ./app.js`. Just add the "--harmony" flag there. – enkryptor Oct 27 '16 at 20:03
Mhhh.. in the app.js file? – KingFuzz Oct 27 '16 at 20:03
@KingFuzz No, in the command line. How do you launch the project, exactly? – enkryptor Oct 27 '16 at 20:04
"npm install" and then "npm install" – KingFuzz Oct 27 '16 at 20:05
Thanks! I've done this, but now I have this problem: app.get('/:code/:user/:pass', (req, res) => { ^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token > at Module._compile (module.js:439:25) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) at startup (node.js:119:16) at node.js:906:3 – KingFuzz Oct 27 '16 at 20:07
How can I do? Please can you help me? – KingFuzz Oct 28 '16 at 13:10
Help with what? Updating node.js? – enkryptor Oct 28 '16 at 13:11
Yes, on windows server – KingFuzz Oct 28 '16 at 13:27
The same way you've already done it. Uninstall node.js, download the newer version from the nodejs.org website (but take the **Current** one, not **LTS** version), and install it again. – enkryptor Oct 28 '16 at 13:29
