# Quick CoffeeScript Install

## CoffeeScript with Node and npm

Node now includes the npm package manager on OS X and Windows.
Choose .pkg on OS X and .msi on Windows and install node from
<http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.6.6/> --- See <http://nodejs.org/dist/>  for newer versions.

Open a command line. On Windows 7 right-click and select 'Run as Administrator' when starting the terminal. On Mac OS X you can use 'sudo' when starting the npm command.

    npm -g install coffee-script

If you get errors from npm then you may have to manually delete files from previous installations.
See <https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation>. Test installation with

    node --version
    #    v0.6.6
    
    coffee --version
    #    CoffeeScript version 1.2.0
    
    coffee -e "console.log 'Hello World'"
    #    Hello World
