Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

bug

What is the current behavior?
when I do "webpack-cli migrate ./webpack.config.dev.js" or "webpack-cli -v" I get an error
message not related to the fuction itself:

module.js:472
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/ErrorHelp

at Function.Module._load (module.js:439:3)

It's important to add I just did "npm install -g webpack-cli", and it installed version 2.0.1

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

run either "webpack-cli migrate ./webpack.config.dev.js" or "webpack-cli -v"

What is the expected behavior?
the cli to give it's version or run.

If this is a feature request, what is motivation or use case for changing the behavior?

Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, Operating System and programming language.
nodeJS 7.7.3 (X64), npm 4.1.2. Windows 7 64bit.

I tried to run webpack-cli -v and it worked, although I have node 6.10.3

Not working for me too. Windows 10, Node 8.5.0
