I note that under `install from scratch`, step 2 instructs users to perform
`git checkout 8d6eae22`
This command, however, returns the error
`error: pathspec '8d6eae22' did not match any file(s) known to git.`
and indeed, perusal of https://github.com/zotero/translation-server/commits/master establishes that no such commit exists. Presumably the repository history was wiped on 24 May 2018.
As such I am not able to install a version of translation-server that is compatible with nodejs v6, as the current versions require v8 or above.
