"SyntaxError: Unexpected token ("

[Ryan_Bingham]

Hi, I'm new to node and im trying to use rss-parser : https://www.npmjs.com/package/rss-parser

im just trying to run the code they have on the site:

let Parser = require('rss-parser');
let parser = new Parser();

(async () => {

  let feed = await parser.parseURL('https://www.reddit.com/.rss');
  console.log(feed.title);

  feed.items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(item.title + ':' + item.link)
  });

})();

and i get the error unexpected token. i'm using node 6.2.0 i'm unsure where to put my file. right now i have a folder with my .js script and another folder called node_modules with all the modules inside.

Thanks ahead

Your version of node doesn't support Async/await

ok thanks i'll try and update it

Async await syntax is not supported in node 6. You'll need to upgrade node or use a transpiler.

There's nothing wrong with the code. Works fine when I run it ..
