npm安装的错误为“ console.error（`已知会破坏npm的错误。”

Question

Followed by this post , I have already installed the Node.JS (9.4.0).

$brew install node      
$node -v                                                                                   
$v0.12.7

Then, npm install -g grunt-cli for test. The error shows like this:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/utils/unsupported.js:28
        console.error(`a bug known to break npm. Please update to at least ${r
                      ^

    at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:92:3)
    at Module._compile (module.js:460:26)

I don't know the erro here, and how to fix it.

Any comments would be appreciated

You're using an old version of Node.js which doesn't support template literals.

Upgrade Node to the latest version and you'll be fine.
