Firebase CLI v7.0.0 is incompatible with Node.js v6.17.1 Please upgrade Node.js to version >= 8.0.0

Question

I upgraded my Firebase CLI (firebase-tools) to version 7.0.0. Now, when I run it, it gives me a message:

Firebase CLI v7.0.0 is incompatible with Node.js v6.17.1 Please upgrade Node.js to version >= 8.0.0

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

With version 7.0.0, the Firebase CLI dropped support for node 6. You will need to upgrade your local node version to at least version 8. (8.0.0 actually has bugs - you should use something more modern.)

Personally, I recommend using nvm to install and run node, as it's easy to install and upgrade, and doesn't require root access to change system packages.
