gulp serve: Failed to load external module babel/register

[fcojgodoy]

Followed the directions in README.md and I receive this error when I run gulp:

$ gulp
[11:26:22] Failed to load external module babel/register
[11:26:22] Requiring external module babel/register

It does, however, serve the boilerplate welcome page successfully.
And npm i --save-dev babel do not fix it.

I attempted a clean install, and retraced every step for a second time in a new directory and I am still encountering the same error.

I must note that I am new to Babel, so I have no idea whether or not this has any consequence.

I found using gulp-browserify worked.

In gulp.js / scripts task

.pipe(babel({
        presets: ['env']
    }))
.pipe(browserify())
.pipe(uglify())

[fcojgodoy]

This do not remove the error:
npm i --save gulp-browserify
import browserify from 'gulp-browserify'

.pipe(babel({
        presets: ['env']
    }))
.pipe(browserify())
.pipe(uglify())

Hey!

Completely missed these issue, I'll close this as I've stopped maintaining this for a while now.

Thanks for using this! ❤️
