Since babel 6 you can install firstly babel-cli (if you want to use Babel from the CLI ) or babel-core (to use the Node API). This package does not include modules.

npm install --global babel-cli
# or
npm install --save-dev babel-core

Then install modules that you need. So do not install module for 'strict mode' in your case.

npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-es2015-arrow-functions

And add installed modules in .babelrc file like this:

{
  "plugins": ["transform-es2015-arrow-functions"]
}
