node.js / ES6 / class creation : SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word

Question

I try to create a class on my node.js / express app.

It works in basic js / prototype mode such as :

function MyClass() { 
    /* constructor code *

You need a newer version of nodejs. The class keyword is supported in 4.4.x, but I'm personally seeing it work in v4.2.6. (Not entirely sure what version of v8 released it, which is what would tell the node version.)
