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

My problem was that other program was using a file involved in the compilation process (probably the .babelrc). Closing several apps solved my problem.

For me was Dropbox or even Brackets Editor with eqFTP extension.
