Probably running an old Node version

Line 1 is this though:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

[pseudo osprey]

okay

Still probably a node version issue

We require 16.6

[silk hollow]

oh no

v12.22.6

i'm on replit so I used:
npm install node@17 and it says it installed node@17.4.0

[pseudo osprey]

We dont support replit, cant really advise as to how you should be doing that

[silk hollow]

OK, but it had the same error, and if it's not a problem with Repl.IT, it looks like the package.json updated the version so idk. I was trying to switch to slash commands from something else so I'll just not use them.

[pseudo osprey]

Thats not how you update node for one

Its not a project dependency

[heavy fjord]

you can use node as project dependancie

in your package.json, add this ```json
{
"devDependencies": {
"node": "^16.14.0"
}
}

[supple pumice]

You gotta choose nodejs 16 in the create repl section

Even my bot is running on Replit... And I have no issues... @pseudo osprey
