Running yeoman generator "Webapp", I'm getting an error when running gulp serve. Here are the following versions for a better background :

sw_vers && node -e 'console.log(process.platform, process.versions)'
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.11.3
BuildVersion:   15D21
darwin { http_parser: '2.6.0',
  node: '5.2.0',
  v8: '4.6.85.31',
  uv: '1.7.5',
  zlib: '1.2.8',
  ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
  icu: '56.1',
  modules: '47',
  openssl: '1.0.2e' }

node -v
v5.2.0

gulp -v
Requiring external module babel-register
CLI version 3.9.1
Local version 3.9.1

Finally the gulp serve error: 

gulp serve
Requiring external module babel-register
\node_modules/babel-core/lib/transformation/file/options/option-manager.js:372
      throw new Error("Couldn't find preset " + JSON.stringify(val) + "      relative to directory " + JSON.stringify(dirname));

Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be, any suggestions?

Here's what I've tried: 

npm uninstall gulp 
npm install gulp 
//with global flag and not
npm install --save-dev gulp 
//installing babel-register manually w/wo global flag and --save-dev
npm install babel-register
npm cache clean

Also read through several of other posts with similar problem with no success, some of the following :
