nwb server error: use of const in strict mode

[anakinjay]

Followed the quick start, when I get to the nwb serve part I get this error:

nwb: error running serve:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nwb/node_modules/qs/lib/index.js:5
const Stringify = require('./stringify');
^^^^^

Which version of Node.js are you using?

[anakinjay]

v0.12.0

[anakinjay]

upgrading to latest node fixed it for me. Sorry, I don't use node haha, my bad.

We currently require Node.js >= 4.0.0 because of qs and I didn't even realise that.

I'll reopen this and add it to the 0.4 milestone since we should call that out - if people want support for earlier versions, we could always drop the qs version if they ask for it.

Just while I'm here, I'm only testing with npm 2 since I use Node 4.2.x. I haven't fgured out a good way to test nwb commands rather than the code they use yet. If we can figure that out, we can run tests with npm 2 and 3 on Travis.
