I am trying to run the vue-hackernews-2.0 example from vuejs' github repository

In setup section it explains how to install the project:

# install dependencies
npm install # or yarn

# serve in dev mode, with hot reload at localhost:8080
npm run dev

# build for production
npm run build

# serve in production mode
npm start

I did npm install. After changing the port to 8888 in server.js I typed "npm run dev" on command line.

> vue-hackernews-2.0@ dev D:\Users\212399486\WebstormProjects\vue-hackernews-2.0-master
> node server

server started at localhost:8888

webpack built bd162a76119031a85eed in 17845ms

When I go localhost:8888 It will just try to load for 1 min and then it fails, without anything on the console.

I thought I should also try "npm run build" and "npm start" so I also used two commands. "npm run build" successfully created the dist file.

But after "npm start" I get this error:

Requires Node.js 7+

I managed to make it work without any problems.

$node -v
v8.3.0
$npm -v
5.3.0

Change the default port successfully :

To change the default port you have to edit package.json scripts:

dev: cross-env PORT=8888 node server

start: cross-env PORT=8888 NODE_ENV=production node server

Then running npm run dev

you are using a version of node that is not supported. Your error point to node v6.11.2 see below.

 npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.1.7601
 npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "D:\\Users\\212399486\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "start"
 npm ERR! node v6.11.2
 npm ERR! npm  v3.10.8

vue-hackernews-2.0 requires Node.js 7+. Upgrade your node to a 7+ version and you should be fine. I'll also recommend to update your npm version.

See the answers to this question for details about how to update your node version, if you need instructions.
