node.js - Running Cloud Functions locally gives error "functions.config() is not available"

Question

Cloud Functions for Firebase was just recently released and I am following the instructions on a fresh install. Here is the "Get Started" page.

I have installed "npm install -g firebase-tools" and all my files are in my project. I am using WebStorm 2016.3 and Node.JS v6.10.0.

I have the firebase login and firebase init functions installed and set up as well. My set up.

My package.json

 {
   "name": "functions",
   "description": "Cloud Functions for Firebase",
    "dependencies": {
     "firebase-admin": "^4.1.2",
     "firebase-functions": "^0.5"
   },
    "private": true
 }

These first two lines of code work.

  const functions = require('firebase-functions');
  const admin = require('firebase-admin');

But then when I try to run this line...

  admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);

I get this error.

 Error: functions.config() is not available. Please use the latest version of the Firebase CLI to deploy this function.

What am I missing here?
