Unsupported Node.js Version

If you're getting the following error in your CLI:

root@neo:~# dockly
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/dockly/src/screen.js:36
constructor (utils = new Map()) {
^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =
at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16)
at Module._compile (module.js:374:25)

Or this kind of error:

Trace: TypeError: Object.values is not a function

    (/home/vokiel/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.1/lib/node_modules/dockly/node_modules/blessed/lib/events.js:98:20)

This is most likely because you're using an unsupported Node.js version. Dockly requires Node.js v7.6 and above
