Gulp SintaxError : Unexpected identifier - node.js

I try to edit a Gulp app on my local server.
I thought it could something with ES6 or version, but I tried so hard and nothing.
I always have this error:
/var/www/html/carros/gulpfile.js:11
let dev = true;

i included mocha and should in package.json but why i am facing this error .should is showing in my node modules also.please guideline
I faced the same issue, and I think it is because should package has been updated two hours ago (and it may have broken something).
npm install should#1.3.0
did the trick.
EDIT
Version 2.0.1 fixed the issue.
It simply means should from the NPM is not installed. Simply use
sudo npm install should
This means that it should install should from the node package manage.
Hope it makes stuff clearer.
Cheers.
