Hi am getting the following error while trying to precompile my JSX code. I have been using it but something happened and I am unable to install this

npm install babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-react

It is showing this error message:

If you want to install globally on your computer those modules, add -g:

npm install -g babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-react

Otherwise, it meand you want to install it locally. Make sure your have package.json in the root used to launch that command. Follow package rules. Here is an example. Your can try to validate your package.json on package-json-validator.com
