Compiling ecma script 6 with Node traceur

I can't seem to get the tutorial to work: https://github.com/google/traceur-compiler/wiki/CompilingOffline

  • I installed Node
  • I create a file here: C:/xampp/htdocs/angular/laravel/app/script/controllers/home-controller.js
  • I want to compile to here: C:/xampp/htdocs/angular/laravel/public/scripts/controllers/home-controller.js

  • I open up Node, and run the following command:

    $ ./traceur --out C:/xampp/htdocs/angular/laravel/public/scripts/controllers/home-controller.js --script C:/xampp/htdocs/angular/laravel/app/script/controllers/home-controller.js

It puts "..." in the command line.

I close Node and re-open...

I then put it without the $ and it says:

Invalid REPL keyword
undefined

What am I doing wrong?

in fact you have to install traceur globally so you can use it from the command line. you need to install it like this

from the command line of a cmd prompt launch the following

  your path>npm install traceur -g

see the "-g". then you must not start node but use traceur from the command prompt itself

  your path>traceur --dir ./src ./ dest

where src contains your es6 files and dest will be the result
