      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
