Shipper installer file issue

I am getting a php error while using the installer file:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘die’ (T_EXIT), expecting identifier (T_STRING) in /home/++++/public_html/+++++ental.com/installer.php on line 1027

    Hi Avery ,

    It seems that the Shipper installer is having issues with older PHP versions as it uses some more up to date functionality that wasn’t available in older PHP versions.

    I suggest that you check with your host if you can upgrade PHP version to latest version, or at least 7.1, not just for the Shipper, but because there were big improvements in PHP 7+ in both security and speed.
    PHP 5.6, that your site is running on, has reached the end of the life over a year ago and I strongly suggest updating to a newer version.

    In the meantime, I have also reported this to our devs to check about supporting older PHP versions as well.

    Best regards,
    Predrag

    Updated to 7.3. This appears to have worked. The only issue / question I have is that the unpack is asking for a database table prefix name. I have no idea what the old one was… so hopefully this works with an arbitrary table prefix name that I have assigned. If I have a problem I’ll let you know.

    The migration completed with the following issues.
    It appears the Tumult Hype plugin we were using on the installation is creating issues and we can’t access the Login or Dashboard. I’ll work with the host on this to see if we can’t get in there another way.

    All the other data appears to be there though. Here is the error message on the admin login page.

    “Warning: mkdir(): No such file or directory in /home/qcreativ/public_html/klerdental.com/wp-content/plugins/tumult-hype-animations/includes/init.php on line 19
