 # babel-register
+
+The require hook will bind itself to node's require and automatically compile files on the fly.
+
+## Install
+
+```
+$ npm install babel-register
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+require("babel-register");
+```
+
+All subsequent files required by node with the extensions `.es6`, `.es`, `.jsx` and `.js` will be transformed by Babel.
+
+See [documentation](http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/require/) for details.
