# Running ES6 Specs With Mocha
If your JavaScript specs contain ES6 syntax, [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/),
by default, will not be able to interpret and run them. In order to run them
with Mocha, you will need to tell Mocha to use something like
[Babel](http://babeljs.io/) to compile them. The `--compile` flag can be
used to point Mocha to the `babel-core/register` package.
```
$ mocha --compilers js:babel-core/register path/to/specs/*.spec.js
```
If you already have a test command specified in your `package.json` file,
you can update it with the `--compile` portion of the above command.
