Webpack-dev-server: After installing [email protected] globally

[DougFerron]

When I try to to do the same with webpack-dev-server I get :
UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY webpack@1 || ^2.1.0-beta

Have you also installed webpack globally? npm install webpack -g

[DougFerron]

I did but I somehow fixed the problem after removing the fish shell. I don't know why this fixed it but all seems well now.

Cool. Could you close the issue then?

I just hit this exact problem too, but I've installed [email protected] globally. I see the following:

Could you guys try it again with [email protected]? That version was just released, and should fix these issues.

Unfortunately not fixed, as it seems. Webpack is installed globally.

I'm having similar if not same issue. I installed Webpack globally (using npm install --global webpack).

[SpaceK33z]

So do you still have this issue when you don't install it globally? You should not install these packages globally.

In my own tests, it seems to work when installing it in a project, but I get the same error when using it globally. That doesn't really sound like an issue I can fix in webpack-dev-server.

[SpaceK33z]

If you really want to install it globally, putting everything on one line seems to work: npm install -g webpack webpack-dev-server.

Closing this since now I'm sure I can't do anything about this issue in dev-server.

I also have this issue.I install globally webpack & webpack-dev-server ,but it still occurs "npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of webpack@>=1.3.0 <3 but none was installed".
How to solve this issue?
