Hangs on 'npm i'

[DHirani]

When running npm i, it just hangs with the following warning

E:\Temp\test\MyApp>npm i npm WARN deprecated babel-preset-es2015@6.24.1: � Thanks for using Babel: we recommend using babel-preset-env now: please read babeljs.io/env to update! npm WARN engine react-hot-loader@3.1.1: wanted: {"node":">= 6"} (current: {"node":"4.4.3","npm":"2.15.1"}) npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing fsevents@1.1.3

Then if I abort it and press npm i it finishes without any errors but does nothing. Then when I run dotnet build I get following error message.
