How do I install the babel-polyfill library?

by

This changed a bit in babel v6.

From the docs:

The polyfill will emulate a full ES6 environment. This polyfill is automatically loaded when using babel-node.

Installation:
$ npm install babel-polyfill

Usage in Node / Browserify / Webpack:
To include the polyfill you need to require it at the top of the entry point to your application.
require("babel-polyfill");

Usage in Browser:
Available from the dist/polyfill.js file within a babel-polyfill npm release. This needs to be included before all your compiled Babel code. You can either prepend it to your compiled code or include it in a <script> before it.

NOTE: Do not require this via browserify etc, use babel-polyfill.
