Webpack - extract-text-webpack-plugin Cannot find module

Question

webpack.config.js

var ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");

I immediately receive this error if I just implement the plugin:

module.js:339
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/ConcatSource'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:337:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:287:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:366:17)

What did i forgot?

Answer 1

Do you have webpack module on your project?
If not, install it locally (not globally):

$ npm install webpack [--save-dev]

extract-text-webpack-plugin needs webpack as peer dependency, but npm 3 doesn't install peer dependencies automatically.

Answer 2

You can try this command which I found on https://www.npmjs.com/package/extract-text-webpack-plugin

npm i extract-text-webpack-plugin
