React Native Node install Error

Question

I am trying to install the environment for react native. I followed the instruction of the site until the point to enter into the cmd

create-react-native-app AwesomeProject

after several moments I get a big green message:

You are currently running Node v0.12.2.                                  

   React Native runs on Node 4.0 or newer. There are several ways to         
   upgrade Node.js depending on your preference.                             

   nvm:       nvm install node && nvm alias default node                     
   Homebrew:  brew unlink iojs; brew install node                            
   Installer: download the Mac .pkg from https://nodejs.org/

Hi user24136 i build react native apps myself and i have latest Node version running. Error states your Node.js installed is old and React Native does run on Node 4.0+. Seems like your on a Mac, visit this link Node.js and use installer to upgrade your NPM and Node to latest versions. After successful installations run commands node -v and npm -v and you should see newer version v6.10.3 and 3.10.10 respectively. Then run command react-native init AwesomeProject and check if it works.

I am using win 10 pro. I have visited nodejs.org to try and upgade my version. I have even uninstall my node and install it again just in case and still after checking the version I get the same result

Do node -v and npm -v and tell us your node, npm versions.

user24136 Over a year ago

node version as show in the question v0.12.2 npm version is 4.3.0

Use these links and run the setup from administrator. For 32 bit windows use nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.3/node-v6.10.3-x86.msi and for 64 bit use nodejs.org/dist/v6.10.3/node-v6.10.3-x64.msi. To check your windows architecture press windows button and search System information. If you receive any errors please attach the stacktrace. If the setup is successful you should see v6.10.3 on running command node -v.
