Running UglifyJS under node.js generates cannot find module error

Question

Running node.js v0.10.15 on windows 7 - installed VIA node-v0.10.15-x86.msi.
Downloaded latest UglifyJS2 library.
Created batch file with syntax:

node "path\to\uglifyjs\bin\uglifyjs" -o "file.min.js" "file.js"

Getting error:

module.js:340
   throw err;
Error: Cannot find module 'source-map'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:364:17)
    at require (module.js:380:17)
    at Object.<anonymous> (D:\Projektid\Tools\uglifyjs\tools\node.js:9:21)
    at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)
    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:364:17)

What could be the problem?

It seems that you've used node instead of uglify in the command line. Since uglifyjs is its own CLI, you don't need to call on node. I believe you need to have this installed globally to work as intended.

npm install uglify-js -g

then

uglifyjs "path\to\uglifyjs\bin\uglifyjs" -o "file.min.js" "file.js"

should work.

Got it working with command uglifyjs -o "file.min.js" "file.js" instead. Thanks.
