Thanks for providing the errors.

ritchieMFaltamirano:webpack-workshop raltamirano$ webpack
webpack: command not found

webpack isn't a command you can just run. I'm assuming your package.json has some scripts in it, and webpack is one of them.

Try running:

npm run webpack

April 11, 2018 9:31pm

Sorry, didn't mean to post that last part of the console, I know that won't work. The issue is with the npm WARN

April 11, 2018 9:37pm

Right on. I recommend installing npm-check-updates. This will check your package.json for outdated packages and update them to the latest versions (rewriting your package.json). This differs from npm outdated and npm update.

Run it with the -nua flag (newest, update, all).

Also, dependency versions change on the daily, so I highly doubt they will update the workshop.

June 10, 2018 7:56pm

npm-check-updates results in a "command not found" error
