Did you verify this is a real problem by searching Stack Overflow and the other open issues in this repo?

yes

Tell us about the problem

I'm testing out webpack following the instructions
here, but when i run

npm run start-ios-bundle
npm run build-ios-bundle

and other commands in the script section of my package.json, I see

Running webpack for ios...
/bin/sh: webpack: command not found
child process exited with code 127

Both

Please provide the following version numbers that your issue occurs with:

Run npm install before npm run start/build-ios-bundle.

I did @sis0k0 and still face the same issue. I've updated the issue to include that,
and this npm run start/build-ios-bundle is wrong, it's not in the script tag.
Did you get this to work for you?

[sis0k0]

/bin/sh: webpack: command not found

This means that he webpack plugin was not installed. Try cleaning node_modules and installing the deps again:

$ rm -rf node_modules
$ npm install

[robophil]

still the same thing ;-(

[sis0k0]

Can you post your package.json? Also, are you using npm shrinkwrap or sth like that?

[robophil]

Here is my package.json content.

Looks good. Can you verify that the webpack plugin is installed in node_modules? Also check if there's a file named webpack inside node_modules/.bin

[dtopuzov]

@robophil can you also specify node and npm versions of your system.

[robophil]

Thanks for all the help @sis0k0.
After running

     npm i --save-dev webpack webpack-sources

It works fine now.
