Description

Hello, and thank you for sharing this project.
I am having some issues running the program. I installed nodejs and npm and ran npm install with no errors. However, the command "node index" gives me the following error:

I had the browser side by side with the terminal just like your video.
I am new to node and npm, but I have never seen this error before, and google didn't help much. I'm using Ubuntu 17.10.
Thank you

Start by reproducing the reported node index command after npm install on Ubuntu 17.10, then inspect the repository's index entry point and the displayed BadMatch error. Done means the documented command starts the program successfully alongside the browser without the reported error.
