Hey @solarisfire,

We support Node >= 7.6.0
Is it possible for you to upgrade to a more recent version of Node.js like 8?

[solarisfire]

Any chance you could put that in the package.json file so idiots like me get stopped at install?

I ended up just running inside a container for now. However it doesn't look quite right with all of the lines being replaced by x's.

I'll upgrade to nodejs 8 a bit later today. It's a bit of a pain on Ubuntu 16.04 as it installs 4.2.6 by default.

[solarisfire]

Running in nodejs 8 now. Doesn't look as pretty as the screenshots though :(

[lirantal]

woohoo 🎉 😄
that does look kinda odd though heh

@solarisfire we do have it on the package.json, in the form of:

  "engines": {
    "node": ">=7.6.0"
  },

but not all package managers respect it, or some would just show an warning during install but will still proceed with installing it.

We also show a Node.js version badge on the README but I guess it's easy to miss too.

[lirantal]

I'll close for now but please feel free to re-open if there's anything more we can help with.

Hi,
I've found the "bad graphic" using PuTTY on windows.
Although using the windows cmd (with the linux subsystem) the interface works better!
I don't know if it can be useful but i noticed that so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[lirantal]

thanks! useful to know ;-)

@lirantal @theFra985 @solarisfire I have a solution for bad GUI drawing in PuTTY. In your session settings, you need to check the following box:
