SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

[bompi88]

This port of the old mup looks really promising! I have a problem though, maybe bacause of my poor knowledge about running node modules that use babel. I followed the steps in the README.md and got the following SyntaxError when running mup init on my project:

$ mup init

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mup/lib/execute.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import modules from './modules/';
                                                              ^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

I'm running OS X 10.11.1 and my current versions of related utilities are:

• node 5.4.0
• npm 3.3.12

EDIT: If I run mup inside dev folder it works as expected:

node ~/projects/meteor-up/index.js init

Knoladge with babel won't be an issue since we are hoping to ship a compiled code in the future. It seems like this is caused by npm install -g not properly linking the binary. I'll try to find what is the exact cause. For now, try this to get it working. (do npm remove -g if you have already installed)

npm install
npm link

Thanks @madushan1000 , that did the trick 👍

I hope this is resolved now? I'm closing this issue, feel free to reopen if not.

I have the same problem, it's not working with npm install -g, but is working when using install and link

We are hoping to ship transpiled version of code in a few days.
