Babel won't compile

[naclcaleb]

Describe the bug
When trying npm run app, I got an error about the webpack config file. I fixed those errors by editing the file; this is what it is now:

import path from 'path';
import HtmlWebpackPlugin from 'html-webpack-plugin';

export default {
    devtool: 'inline-source-map',
    mode:"development",
    entry: [
        path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/index')
    ],
    target: 'web',
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src'),
        publicPath: '/',
        filename: 'bundle.js'
    },
    plugins: [
        // Create HTML file that includes reference to bundled JS.
        new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
            template: 'src/index.html',
            minify: {
                removeComments: true,
                collapseWhitespace: true,
                removeRedundantAttributes: true,
                useShortDoctype: true,
                removeEmptyAttributes: true,
                removeStyleLinkTypeAttributes: true,
                keepClosingSlash: true,
                minifyJS: true,
                minifyCSS: true,
                minifyURLs: true
            },
            inject: true
        })
    ],
    module: {
        rules: [{
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                loaders: ['babel-loader']
            },
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                loaders: ['style', 'css']
            }
        ]
    }
}

Now all the webpack errors have stopped, but I am getting an error about babel:

ERROR in ./src/index.js
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):
Error: Cannot find module '@babel/core'
 babel-loader@8 requires Babel 7.x (the package '@babel/core'). If you'd like to use Babel 6.x ('babel-core'), you should install 'babel-loader@7'.

It seems that the package @babel/core needs to be installed...

npm install @babel/core

However, this gives an error about not finding property 'bindings'.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download and extract the zip file, and follow the instructions on the docs page.
2. I am using npm version 5.5.1, node version 9.0.0, and nodejs version 4.2.6

Expected behavior
I would expect to see the index.js file compile and print to the terminal.

I see you assigned me to this, but I don't know how to fix it. I don't often work with npm, nodejs, or babel, so I can't help much with that.
