Module build failed: Error: Couldn't find preset "env" relative to directory

Dear community, what is the problem here? I don't want to install babel-preset-env globally. I use it with every project, but I just do local install since this way it is easy to prevent this kind of bug in my projects.

It seems that gatsby requires babel-preset-env globally?

I could not reproduce this issue with same versions of Gatsby & Node on Ubuntu. Can you try with a starter explicitly like mentioned in #2092 and see if it works?

Removing a global babel config from my home folder fixed it for me.

I can confirm that removing my projects .bablerc file fixed the problem for me as I migrate from v1 to v2.
