Preconditions
Before starting, make sure you have a new version of Node.js installed . The current LTS release is an ideal starting point. You will run into a lot of problems with older versions, they may lack functional webpack or require associated packages.
The following will show you how to install webpack locally in your project .
local installation
npm install webpack --save-dev npm install webpack@<version> --save-dev
If you use npm scripts in your project, npm will look for webpack in your local modules , so this installation trick is useful.
"scripts":{
"start":"webpack --config mywebpack.config.js"
}
This is standard, recommended practice.
Install globally
Note that installing webpack globally is not recommended . This will limit you to a specific webpack version and may fail in projects using different versions.
npm install webpack -g
webpack commands can be used globally.
unstable frontier
If you are interested in using the latest version provided by webpack (note: it may not be stable), you can install it directly from the webpack repository:
npm install webpack/webpack#<tagname/branchname>
