Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

If I remember correctly, Node-RED actually needs an old version of Node at the moment.. well, not older as such, but I think it only runs on Node 6.x (the long-term stable release), rather than the state-of-the-art Node 7.x. As a result, it doesn't support Promises and a host of other ES6 features.
One option is to use
nave, which lets you have several versions of Node installed and switch between them as needed. That way, you can have Node-RED and EspruinoHub running in Node 6.x, and use another version for other scripts. Or, as you say, just reinstall with Node 6.x: most code should work with it.My version of
EspruinoHub.serviceis substantially different as I don't use standard Node either: I install the base server version of Raspbian and do a custom install of Node into its own user.
