npm is failing to compile – uikit3 - npm

Question

I've just started using UIKit3 (getuitkit.com) and I keep getting this error when npm run watch is running – I also can't use npm run compile either. Any ideas?
This is the error I get with watch...

Answer 1

You seem to be running node v0.12.0. UIkit's build tools require a minimum version of 4.4+. Please update to a current Node version. https://nodejs.org/en/
