i am new to reactJs and setting up the environment for reactJs application. I have package,json file like this

{
 "name": "reactjs-basics",
  "version": "1.0.0",
 "description": "Some basic ReactJS",
 "main": "index.js",
 "scripts": {
 "start": "npm run build",
 "build": "webpack -d && copy src/index.html dist/index.html && webpack-dev-
  server --content-base src/ --inline --hot",
"build:prod": "webpack -p && copy src/index.html dist/index.html"
        },
 "keywords": [
 "reactjs"
      ],
 "author": "Maximilian Schwarzmueller",
 "license": "MIT",
 "dependencies": {
 "react": "^15.2.1",
"react-dom": "^15.2.1"
     },
"devDependencies": {
"babel-loader": "^6.2.4",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.9.0",
"babel-preset-react": "^6.11.1",
"babel-preset-stage-2": "^6.11.0",
"webpack": "^1.13.1",
"webpack-dev-server": "^1.14.1"
    }
 }

and web.config.js file like this

var webpack = require('webpack');
var path = require("path");

var DIST_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, "dist");
var SRC_DIR = path.resolve(__dirname, "src");

var config = {
entry: SRC_DIR + "/app/index.js",
output: {
    path: DIST_DIR + "/app",
    filename: "bundle.js",
    publicPath: "/app/"
},
module: {
    loaders: [
        {
            test: /\.js?/,
            include: SRC_DIR,
            loader: "babel-loader",
            query: {
                presets: ["react", "es2015", "stage-2"]
            }
        }
    ]
  }
 };

module.exports = config;

when i am running this command "npm start" then i am getting this error

"ERROR in Cannot find module 'babel-core'

Instead of "/", use "\" in your webpack.config.js.

It worked using this:

"build": "webpack -d && copy src\\index.html dist\\index.html && webpack-dev-
server --content-base src/ --inline --hot"
