FIXED: not a bug but a typo on my part
npm install babel-present-env -D
should read
npm install babel-preset-env -D
Summery of the report:
Im getting a huge number of errors in the console when I try to install the babel-present-env -D.
Ive copied the errors and they can be seen at the bottom of this page
A google search of the errors uncovered this which suggests that the package has moved:
Possible solution: npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-env
