I have installed webpack using
npm install -g webpack
and
npm install webpack
I also installed webpack-dev-server
npm install -g webpack-dev-server
After completion of installation, I ran the command webpack but, it shows below error
webpack: command not found
I am not getting what is the error.
I needed to manually install:
npm install --save-dev webpack-cli
I guess its needed so that Angular CLI actually understands the commands related to Webpack.
You need to be in proper folder to run webpack command.
What I mean by proper folder is folder in which you placed your installed module and module's package.json file.
Cause you installed it with -g parameter it is installed globally and you should find it in: ./node_modules/.bin/webpack.
Best practice is to install modules per project ( folder in which is project) not globally.
webpack -v: webpack command not found
node -v: v16.14.2
npm -v: 8.5.0
Tried to install webpack globally or locally and a lot of other ways to fix this issue but failed, below solution fixed my case (my case is a little bit special, I reset the prefix as below)
npm config set prefix "C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm_modules"
Solution: add the folder path xxx/npm_modules/ which included webpack.cmd to the System variable Path
How to find the folder path xxx/npm_modules/ which included webpack.cmd?
npm config ls
webpack.cmd in folder npm_modules, you will need this path to be added to System variable Path
