Pulled from remote repo and getting: "Parsing error: The keyword 'import' is reserved"

Question

I get the following error:

ERROR in ./src/main.js

  error Parsing error: The keyword 'import' is reserved  
  /Users/staging/Desktop/sourcetree/viewer_web/src/main.js:1:1
  import Vue from 'vue'

For some reason the ES6 feature in my project is not being recognized?

I'm using Node 5.0 and this is my package.json:

    "webpack": "^1.12.2",
    "webpack-dev-middleware": "^1.4.0",

  }
}

What's a possible solution?

I thought it was a problem caused by eslint so I installed it globally but it didn't solve the problem.

You should add this to your .eslintrc file:

"parser": "babel-eslint"

This will fix your issue.

Node still uses common.js for modules. Take a look here https://nodejs.org/en/docs/es6/ for all the es6 supported features in node. If you want to use es6 imports you may have to use babel-node

As you can see in my `package.json` I have babel installed. – alex Mar 11 '16 at 05:25
I was talking about babel-cli http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/cli/ you'd have to run it instead of node like so ``babel-node build/dev-server.js`` – gabesoft Mar 11 '16 at 07:20
