Installing Babel on Ubuntu 16.0.4

I'm trying to install Babel (https://babeljs.io/docs/setup/#installation) on Ubuntu 16.0.4. I can't seem to get it to install though:

npm install --save-dev babel-cli

package.json exists and just has {} as the contents. When I check the version number I get:

babel --version
6.26.0 (babel-core 6.26.3)

I'm then trying to set this plugin up:

https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-es2015-template-literals/

I run:

npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-es2015-template-literals

.babelrc has the following contents in:

{
  "plugins": ["transform-es2015-template-literals"]
}

Yet when I try and run this plugin it spits out a horrible error:

babel --plugins transform-es2015-template-literals /home/chambres/web/xxx.org/public_html/2018/js/lib-non-es6/categories.js
ReferenceError: Unknown plugin "transform-es2015-template-literals" specified in "base" at 0, attempted to resolve relative to "/home/chambres/web/xxx.org/public_html/2018/js/lib-non-es6"

What am I missing? Thanks!
