It works for me after switching to node 6. And don't forget to change the mongodb URIs in all three config files.

[samuxyz]

Yes exactly, as stated in the tutorial, it requires node 6 or you can add babel to the package.json!

I've encountered the same issue using v6.0.0 & v6.10.1, is there a specific version I should be using?

[speaud]

I'm using v6.12.0 without any issues

[hieutle2011]

I have updated mongodb URIs in all 3 config files, but still have issues as below.
