Chapter 10. Async/Await Project Setup

In this chapter, we're going to go through the process of learning how async/await works, what exactly it is, and where it's going to fit into what we know about Node already. Async/await is a feature that is not available in all versions of Node. You have to be using the 7.6 or greater. So if you are on V7, just make sure you are on 7.6 or greater. If we go over to nodejs.org, you're going to see that v9 is actually out, so we can go ahead and just upgrade to V9 right now:

It's perfectly fine if there's a newer version. You can go ahead and grab that as well, as long as it is 7.6 or up. So 6.10, it's not going to have the syntax that we're about to dive into.
