Using uglifyjs with nodejs in windows

I installed nodejs from nodejs.org on my windows box.

The path to node is C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs\node.exe

I can run node in command prompt correctly, my question is...I cloned uglifyjs to C:\gitrepos\uglifyjs\

Now I am trying to figure out how to get things setup to just run something like

node uglifyjs -o inputfile.min.js inputfile.js

What has to happen to allow me to do that?

For you to run any NodeJS app in any environment(folder). Do the following

  1. Install the app globally

    npm install uglify-js -g

  2. Exit and re-open the command prompt

  3. Run uglifyJS without node command

    uglifyjs [options] filename

You could just add the C:\gitrepos\uglifyjs\bin path to your...path environment variable.

You can run it by :

node C:\gitrepos\uglifyjs\bin\uglifyjs -o inputfile.min.js inputfile.js
