This was for an old side project. I don't remember what for, but you should be able to generate the package.json using the install npm command.

If you're looking to start a react project now you'll be better off using create-react-app which has way better tooling and support. https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app

because if I install using this

npm install --save-dev babel-preset-es2015 browserify gulp gulp-babel gulp-notify gulp-util gulp-watch react react-dom vinyl-buffer vinyl-source-stream babel-preset-react

It will install the latest versions of it. actualy i tried this, some errors popping out. is it because of the versions?

Thanks for replying :)
