Issues with npm that seems to be a syntax error for server-side rendering

[Zacharymk1213]

After downgrading Python to 3.9.4 among other things I to run npm start and get the following:
> [email protected] start > nodemon static/bundles/server/server-bundle.js

Hi, its not clear to us what the issue is here. It does not appear to be related directly to Sefaria code. Can you provide further details of what commands and installations you ran preceeding this issue so we can try and offer more guided help?

@Zacharymk1213 did you have any luck with this? I am running into the same issue

[Zacharymk1213]

@ahron-maslin nope. I honestly, forget what I did or how I got the error a year and a half ago. Can you write some better documentation of it (I wasn't good at documenting things then.)

[ahron-maslin]

@Zacharymk1213 all I did was a docker compose up, but I tried a local installation and got the same error

[Zacharymk1213]

What system are you using?
