Node v4.6.2

Answer 1

It seems that one option is to upgrade from node 4.2.6 to node 6.0.0

Results in:

$ npm start

> react-speed-book@1.0.0 start /home/durrantm/Dropbox/92_2017/work/code/javascript/react/react_speed_book/react-speed-book
> NODE_ENV=development webpack-dev-server --inline

 http://localhost:8080/

content is served from /home/durrantm/Dropbox/92_2017/work/code/javascript/react/react_speed_book/react-speed-book
