Involve following steps to resolve the issue:

1) Install the CLI and env preset

$ npm install --save-dev babel-cli babel-preset-env

2) Create a .babelrc file

{
  "presets": ["env"]
}

3) configure npm start in package.json

"scripts": {
    "start": "babel-node ./server/app.js",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  }

4) then start app

$ npm start
