Those versions of npm and node are quite old - I imagine the minimum requirements might be higher, though the project should have those outlined.
It could just be spinning - Babel 6 presets install _lots_ of duplicated dependencies with npm2.

I need to move a similar project from Babel 5 to Babel 6 soon and tried manually deduplicating Babel 6 preset dependencies for better npm2 support [1] - doing so reduced the size of node_modules/ from ~120MB to ~6MB!
