Hey @FossPrime,

can you tell which version of node.js is running in the background? Such errors usually indicate that the extension code is written in ES2020 (or similar) and therefore expects node 14, but was parsed using node 12. Older versions of Theia recommend to use node 12.

Note that I just tried installing the extension as well, which doesn't lead to the parse error on node 14. However, on startup, the extension still runs into an error, as it requires vscode API version >= 1.67, which isn't satisfied by Theia. The latest compatible version seems to be 0.34.11.
