    Hi,

    thank you for this post !
    I have an issue and i really don’t know where it can come from.
    I am on Ubuntu 16.04 (upgraded today)
    When I run :
    parse-dashboard –config parse-dashboard-config.json
    I have got :
    The dashboard is now available at http://0.0.0.0:4040/

    On firefox 50.0.2, when I go to 0.0.0.0:4040 or localhost:4040, i have a redirect to http://0.0.0.0:4040/login or http://localhost/login and a blank page

    When I press F12, i can see “SyntaxError: expected expression, got ‘ v6.9.1
    npm -v -> v3.10.8

    I follow strictly the tuto and nothing special appeared.
    I did it again at work and it worked perfectly but impossible on my computer at home :/
    Maybe I need to install a specific package ? is it possible that these versions are not compatible ?
    Do you have any tips ?

    Thanks a lot !
    Dylan
