When running a typings command I always get the error: 

AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\typings\node_modules\strip-bom\index.js:2
module.exports = x => {
                   ^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token =>

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:478:10)

So far I tried reinstalling typings (v 2.0.0), npm cache clean and all that, but it doesn't seem to fix it.

    turns out that upgrading my node.js version solved this for me.. node = new version-hell? – Inx51 Dec 17 '16 at 22:51
  • How is running an outdated version of software a "version-hell"? – JJJ Jan 23 '17 at 07:35

I just install the new version of node from node page, there is no need of uninstalled it first because the binary files are overwritten.
