Error in the installation of Jbrowse

[elhossary]

Hi All,
Running jbrowse create jbrowse2 yields the following error, I have no idea how to get over it.
Can anyone help?

$ jbrowse create jbrowse2
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@jbrowse/cli/node_modules/@oclif/core/lib/command.js:45
            delete this.baseFlags?.json;
                                  ^

this should be fixed by updating the version of node.js on your system. I believe using v16 and over is ok (the error refers to newer js syntax that is only supported by newer versions of node.js)
