syntax error in ansi_escape_parser.js

[marralser]

Hello! Thanks for working on a hjason based BBS engine! I installed it (Ubuntu 22.04) using the installer script, but once trying to start it, I get the following syntax error.

/home/enigma/enigma-bbs/core/ansi_escape_parser.js:48
this.row = Math.min(options?.startRow ?? 1, this.termHeight);
^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

Any idea of the cause? Post it here because it might be a versioning issue,

Cheers,

@marralser Looks like your Node version is not correct (ie: doesn't understand ?). Please check your node --version. The installer script will attempt to install the correct version under nvm, but depending on the setup, there may be a conflict. You'll need Node v14+.

Thankss for the quick reply - Node version was correct - but strangely enough it seemed to have been a permisison/acess issue; I started the process again with another user on the same system, and it it went through smoothly.
