How do I use pogoscript

[Jerry Jeremiah]

Ok, I know this question shows how out of touch I am with the cool kids but I don't know why I need npm.  I have a copy of node.exe on my computer and when I run it I get a javascript REPL and it works fine.  But it isn't installed and I don't have npm.  How can I use the node.exe I have to compile a pogoscript file into javascript?  Do I really need npm?

Hi Jerry,

You will need NPM to install pogoscript, in the very least because pogoscript has a couple of dependencies that NPM will resolve (underscore and uglify-js). NPM also opens the doors to about 50000 packages so if you want to do anything fun you'll want it installed anyway. :)
