non ES6 version of this code

In the course its mentioned that "In order to run JavaScript in ECMA 6, you have to have a later version of Node. There's information in the teacher's notes on how to run later versions of Node." 2 questions: i) I don't see this info around running a later version of Node, where is it please? ii) It also mentioned changing Const and Let to Var if you wan to use ES 5, however I also see the use of arrow functions, et cetera in the code. Do you have a ES 5 version of the code available please? Thanks
