SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.

I tried to join the default irc free node. Clicking connect results in the below:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/shout/node_modules/request/node_modules/hawk/node_modules/boom/lib/index.js:5
const Hoek = require('hoek');
^^^^^

I had installed nodejs (not legacy) so i removed nodjs and then installed nodejs-legacy and some other stuff;

sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy npm

npm cache clean -f

Hey @3lixy!
Shout is currently inactive, so I recommend you to take a look at The Lounge, a fork of Shout that was started some time ago that is under active development.
Note however that it is not compatible with Node v0.10 and v0.12, so you'd have to use v4 or more recent (I'd recommend using v8).

Good luck!

Yes I already found that out and now am using The Lounge.

All good so far. Very nice interface and have chosen the solarized theme which i also use for putty.
