Running `npm start` after `npm install` doesn't properly start the server

[imolorhe]

Hi. So I cloned the repo and installed babel-cli and also ran npm install and then I ran npm start. The server started but with an error

ERROR in ./src/js/index.js Module parse failed: c:\Users\Sirmuel\Documents\GitHub\hiddenwisdom-react-js\src\js\index.js Unexpected token (17:2)

Also even when the server started and I navigated to the page, it showed a blank page with an error in the JS file. I believe that error is due to the app.get('*', function(req, res) { on line 16 of the distServer.js file, which sends the index.html file for every request.

I don't know if I am missing anything from the setup.

@imolorhe Which github branch is this?

[imolorhe]

That would be the develop branch.
