'Running node app on hosted ubuntu linux results in "unexpected token" when trying to timeout 60_000

I have a node.js app that runs fine on my Mac OS but when trying to run it on a hosted Linux, it says:

/usr/myapp/src/js/main.js:165
        await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 60_000))
                                             ^^

Was caused by the fact that the version of npm available from apt on Ubuntu (at this time) is too old.

Installing npm doing nvm fixed the issue.
