Syntax error on mup setup

I am following this tutorial on how to deploy to Digital Ocean using mup but hitting an error on mup setup. My mup.json file is as follows.

{
  // Server authentication info
  "servers": [
    {
      "host": "***.***.***.***",  //IP address redacted
      "username": "root",
      //“password": "password"
      // or pem file (ssh based authentication)
      "pem": "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
    }
  ],

  // Install MongoDB in the server, does not destroy local MongoDB on future setup
  "setupMongo": true,

  // WARNING: Node.js is required! Only skip if you already have Node.js installed on server.
  "setupNode": true,

  // WARNING: If nodeVersion omitted will setup 0.10.36 by default. Do not use v, only version number.
  "nodeVersion": "0.10.36",

  // Install PhantomJS in the server
  "setupPhantom": true,

  // Show a progress bar during the upload of the bundle to the server. 
  // Might cause an error in some rare cases if set to true, for instance in Shippable CI
  "enableUploadProgressBar": true,

  // Application name (No spaces)
  "appName": “workshop”,

  // Location of app (local directory)
  "app": “.”,

  // Configure environment
  "env": {
    "ROOT_URL": "http://***.***.***.***"    //IP address redacted
  },

  // Meteor Up checks if the app comes online just after the deployment
  // before mup checks that, it will wait for no. of seconds configured below
  "deployCheckWaitTime": 15
}

When I run mup setup, I see this error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mup/node_modules/cjson/index.js:226
        throw err;
        ^

    at Module.load (module.js:343:32)

Is this tutorial out of date or might I be making another error?

Should be invalid character? ?

Well that started to fix it, which is strange since I hadn’t edited the quote marks, just the text. But now when I run mup setup , I’m getting:

I’m out of my league with this one. I’m on a Mac for what it’s worth.

What is the version of mup you are using?

btw, I am on mup@0.11.3 and my config node version is 0.10.40, maybe you can try that one?

I saw my error was already reported as an issue for meteor-up on github. I think I’m resolving using mupx instead, looks like everything installed fine using that.

All good - took two tries but now deployed. Just so I know, how would I change the version of mup and node if I needed to?

In the config, you have posted. For mup, just npm install should be pulling the latest.
