I following along a Node.JS Tutorial

The instructor is using the IntelliJ IDEA to create a demo server side application with Node.JS.

The first step in the tutorial is to create a static Web Project. With the help of Static Project , I was able to accomplish the task by installing a plugin for that feature.

The next step in the tutorial is to create a new JavaScript file in that project. The instructor was able to do this by right clicking the project name -> new -> JavaScript File (show below)enter image description here

However when I tried to do the same, here are the options I received enter image description here (selected option is new)

Does anyone know what plugins I have install to get the JavaScript File option? I tried doing a Google Search but didn't find anything. I also took a look at Editor but I am not trying to tell Intellij to treat another file type as a JavaScript file.

JavaScript support is only available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. It looks like you're running IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, which does not include JavaScript support.

    Ahh I see thanks! You know what's strange though? I gave the file an extension of .js, and Intellij was able to recognize it as a JavaScript file. – committedandroider Jun 29 '15 at 16:46
  • It does recognize it as a JavaScript file and provides some basic syntax highlighting, and that's all. IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate provides much, much more. – yole Jun 30 '15 at 09:36
