Error when creating the starter app

[ChristianGreinke]

Hi All,

when running the command:

npx create-next-app nextjstest --use-npm --example "https://github.com/vercel/next-learn-starter/tree/master/learn-starter"

it returns with the following error:

npx: installed 1 in 2.605s
Unexpected token *

I can't proceed from there

node: v8.10.0
npm: 3.5.2
npx: 10.2.0

Thanks for your help

You will want to update your version of Node.js, Node 8 is end of life: https://github.com/nodejs/Release

Thanks for your insight. Most appreciated. Should have thought of it my self.
