I’m pleased to say that as of Node 0.6.3 and CoffeeScript 1.1.3, Windows users can now install and use the coffee command just as easily as anyone else! Just download the latest Node installer, then run

npm install -g coffee-script

just like you would under Mac/Linux. You should then be able to run coffee to enter the REPL.

All mention of Cygwin is hereby banished from future editions of the book.

I have Windows7 so you are saying I can now use Node 0.6.3 and CoffeScript 1.1.3?

Totally! Just download the latest Node installer for Windows at http://nodejs.org/, then run the command I gave above.

Edit: Solve the issue myself :) I was trying to run npm from within node.js which didn’t work. When I ran npm by itself, coffee-script installed.
