cli: Bundling Android async function run() error

Environment

react-native-cli: 2.0.1 react-native: 0.59.4

Description

I am attempting to bundle the android project using this

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/

However I am getting this error

node_modules/@react-native-community/cli/build/cliEntry.js:168
async function run() {
      ^^^^^^^^

@mikeKane here is what I found to solve this …

I just did a fresh install for the first time using the instructions at https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started (including a newly installed Node v10.15.3 via nvm) and I’m seeing this for both iOS and Android but not for react-native info:

Since nvm and paths can be a little crazy I added console.log('Node: ' + process.version); just before the token error and I see Node: v10.15.3 on my console. I’m running this from iTerm, where the node version is reported, but the error it presented in a new native Mac Terminal.app window. Suspecting foul play I scrolled up in that new window and saw it running /Users/matt/src/temp/react-native-test/CrossPlatformTest/node_modules/react-native/scripts/launchPackager.command, which due to nvm is probably using my default node version (not v10.15.3). I then ran nvm alias default v10.15.3 and now it builds.
