Short tutorial on how to install babel and use it to transpile JavaScript from ES6 to ES5.

-------Commands Used ----------

1. "npm install -g babel-cli"
2. "npm install babel-preset-env -save-dev"

*This will install babel and the preset we need to transpile. But you'll also need to create the ".babelrc" file. It is literally a file names .babelrc with the following text inside:

"{
"presets" : ["env"],
"plugins : [ ]
}"

To actually transpile your JS file we'll do:

1. "babel (Name of file to transpile) --out-file (Name of file you would like output)"

For the video we used:

"babel test.js --out-save test1.js"
