• install --> "npm i --save-dev babel-cli babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-stage-0"

next in package.json file add in scripts "start": "babel-node server.js"

    {
  "name": "node",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "server.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "^1.18.2",
    "express": "^4.16.2",
    "lodash": "^4.17.4",
    "mongoose": "^5.0.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
    "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1",
    "babel-preset-stage-0": "^6.24.1"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "babel-node server.js"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

and create file for babel , in root ".babelrc"

    {
    "presets":[
        "es2015",
        "stage-0"
    ]
}

and run npm start in terminal
