What version of node are you running? It looks like it's the async that crashes. That would mean you're running a to old version of node.

I’m on v6.9.5

Is that considered outdated? Having no problem with other plugins and scripts.

Async was introduced in v7 I think. The latest stable release is v8.7.0. While LTS is still on 6.11.4. But since I wanted fancy async/await (it makes for so much cleaner code) you'd sadly have to upgrade for it to work.
