Problems connecting postgres with sequelize.js dialect

Question

I have a postgres database and want to set the dialect on sequelize as postgres. I followed all the instructions on the sequelize.js site mainly:

var Sequelize = require("sequelize");
var sequelize = new Sequelize('database', 'postgres', 'pword', {
host: "localhost", //your server
port: 5432 //server port
dialect: 'postgres' 
});

I also did these modifications in the package.json file:

"name": "hello-world",
"description": "hello world test app",
"version": "0.0.1",
"private": true,
"dependencies": {
  "express": "3.1",
  "pg": "0.8.8",
  "sequelize": "1.6.x"
}

But when I try to run node app.js I get this error: dialect: 'postgres' ^^^^^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier at Module._compile (module.js:437:25)

I'm really confused what is going on, and why I'm still getting this error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try removing the comment lines after host and port.

My pleasure. Getting started can be the hardest part, but I've been really happy with Sequelize after two intense months. Stick with it.
