Example doesn't run

[jacklund]

I'm trying to run your api_gateway_proxy example, and it fails.

The first failure is in the transpile step:

npm run transpile

> [email protected] transpile /home/admin/git/kappa/examples/api_gateway_proxy
> babel --presets es2015 src --out-dir bin

sh: 1: babel: not found

npm ERR! [email protected] transpile: `babel --presets es2015 src --out-dir bin`

So I did a npm install babel which brought me to the next error:

% npm run transpile

unfortunately, I'm running this on Debian, so even after installing node it doesn't work, because Debian installs it as nodejs rather than node.

Once I symlinked node to nodejs, I get this error:

% npm run transpile

> [email protected] transpile /home/admin/git/kappa/examples/api_gateway_proxy
> babel --presets es2015 src --out-dir bin

You have mistakenly installed the `babel` package, which is a no-op in Babel 6.
Babel's CLI commands have been moved from the `babel` package to the `babel-cli` package.

    npm uninstall -g babel
    npm install --save-dev babel-cli

See http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/cli/ for setup instructions.

At which point I give up. 😄

It might be helpful to include a README with your example to explain what the assumed dependencies are, and how to set them up in various environments.

Hey! Sorry for not responding earlier, I was quite busy the last few days.
I'll take a look at this over the weekend.
