With this small blog we tried to introduce npm, webpack and few more libraries that might necessary with these packages and solve error that came while installing webpack. So, starting with basic 🙂
What is npm?
Node Package Manager (NPM) provides Online repositories for node.js packages/modules and Command line utility to install Node.js packages, do version management and dependency management of Node.js packages.
What is webpack?
Webpack is a module bundler, it takes modules with dependencies and generates static value representing those modules.

On implementing any plugin if we are receiving below error or webpack – extrack-text-webpack-plugin cannot find module
check whether webpack properly install or not if not then install it locally:

npm install webpack |
then run

npm i extract-text-webpack-plugin |

Then run,(this part is optional)
