Node version : 7.0.0

I am getting "Module build failed: Error: Couldn't find preset "react-server" relative to directory" error while running npm run dev.

I think that's because of some .babelrc file in somewhere in a parent directory.
@kishanj918 add following .babelrc file into the app root.

{
  "presets": ["next/babel"]
}

Can't reproduce. Can you try to run npm install in the directory?
