Issue installing NodeBB on Centos 7

[PitaJ]

@scottalanmiller WHAT?! What version of NodeBB are you trying to use? Node 0.10.8 is ages old and certainly doesn't support const.

[scottalanmiller]

Should have been 10.8.0, sorry.

Wonder what that error was... did we end up fixing it

No, getting issues on CentOS 7 still, too.

[scottalanmiller]

Related, I think, getting this from any version of NodeJS...

OK

@scottalanmiller are you running any NodeBB commands as root?

Yes, the installer.

[PitaJ]

@scottalanmiller running any ./nodebb command as root is not supported. You should install and run NodeBB as an unprivileged user.

[PitaJ]

If you wish to fix this, though, you should be able to run npm install in the NodeBB directory as root to resolve it.

Doh. Obviously. Thanks, having a brainfart from lack of sleep.
