## Installation
|
||
|
||
The command-line version of `coffee` is available as a [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) 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](#try)).
|
||
|
||
To install, first make sure you have a working copy of the latest stable version of [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/). You can then install CoffeeScript globally with [npm](http://npmjs.org):
|
||
|
||
> ```
|
||
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
|
||
```
