I use the latest stable version build 3083. How can I run JavaScript code inside this editor. I've tried a couple of suggestions off the net and both have not worked. I have Node.js and NPM installed.

I found someone who compiled the V8 engine for sublime. Maybe that's what you're looking for?

11,062 PointsYes Jonathan, I ended up using the command-line Javascript runner method after installing Node.js
Working fine now but thanks for your reply.
