Babel doesn't run from npm script - npm

Question

I have the babel cli installed on my machine using:
npm install -g babel-cli
When I run this command I get the desired output. i.e out.js is created
babel script.js --out-file out.js
but when I try to run that command via npm I get an error saying
The CLI has been moved into the package `babel-cli`.
$ npm install -g babel-cli
Here's the package.json:
{
"name": "youtubeapiloader",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"compile": "babel -g src/youtube-api-loader.js --out-file youtube-api.js",
"prepublish": "npm run compile"
},
"devDependencies": {
"babel": "^6.1.18"
}
}

Have you tried installing babel-cli as a devDependency already?
I managed to get it working like this. Just do
npm install babel-cli --save-dev
Perhaps you might also need babel-core, but I can not remember correctly.
Note that if you want to run this using Travis CI you might still need to globally install babel-cli using a custom installation step within your .travis.yml. e.g.
language: node_js
sudo: false
node_js:
- "5.0"
install:
- npm install -g babel-cli
- npm install
