From the angular-cli github page:

Prerequisites:

Both the CLI and generated project have dependencies that require Node 4 or higher, together with NPM 3 or higher.

The const are part of ES6(ECMAscript 2015) which is not enabled by default in nodejs v0.12(which one you use). Related stackoverflow article
