Error: Couldn't find preset “es2015” relative to directory “/Users/username”

Question

I get the following error when trying to use gulp-babel:

Error: Couldn\'t find preset \"es2015\" relative to directory \"/Users/username\"

Answer 1

I just used this exact gulpfile.js

var babel = require('gulp-babel');
var es2015 = require('babel-preset-es2015');
var gulp = require('gulp');

gulp.task('babel', function() {
    return gulp.src('./app/main.js')
    .pipe(babel({
        presets: [es2015]
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

and it worked for me. I only installed babel, babel-preset-es2015 and gulp-babel.
