How to use D3 in Node.js properly?

Question

I\'ve been trying to invoke D3 within Node.js. I tried firstly to import d3.v2.js from D3\'s website with the script tag, but then read this thread:

I want to run d3

Answer 1

To use with ES6's import instead of require:

import * as d3 from 'd3';

This is perhaps obvious to any experienced babel/ES6-user, and I know this is an old question, but I came here in an attempt to figure this out. Hope this is helpful for someone.
