Installation
The command-line version of coffee is available as a Node.js utility. The [core compiler](/v<%= majorVersion %>/browser-compiler/coffeescript.js) however, does not depend on Node, and can be run in any JavaScript environment, or in the browser (see Try CoffeeScript).
To install, first make sure you have a working copy of the latest stable version of Node.js. You can then install CoffeeScript globally with npm:
npm install --global coffeescript@next
When you need CoffeeScript as a dependency of a project, within that project’s folder you can install it locally:
npm install --save coffeescript@next
