student-form fails after first edit.

In the What's New in React 16 modules in the Learn React Track after making the first changes as suggested in the video I tried to run the app all I got was this: /home/john/WebstormProjects/student-form/src/App.js:1 (function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import React, { Component } from 'react'; ^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token import at createScript (vm.js:80:10) at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:152:10) at Module._compile (module.js:605:28) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:652:10) at Module.load (module.js:560:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:503:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:495:3) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:682:10) at startup (bootstrap_node.js:191:16) at bootstrap_node.js:613:3

Process finished with exit code 1 How can this be fixed? I'm running on Ubuntu 17.10 using Webstorm for editing and running the app.
