I try to run the webpack command to compile an application in react js, previously I worked in ubuntu and it worked perfectly and I changed to windows and when using node js in windows, it generates the following message that does not allow me to compile

** The CLI moved to a separate package: webpack-cli would you like to install webpack-cli? **

and I try to install it by entering the option (yes) and nothing happens, I run the same command again and it comes back and it shows me the message again

javascript nodejs reactjs

It is exactly what the message tells you, to be able to use it from the webpack console, from version 4, it is necessary to install the package webpack-cli which is the one that contains the functionality related to the command line.

If you have webpack installed globally, use

npm install -g webpack-cli

but replace the -g parameter with --save-dev

What I can think of is that you try the following:

1.- Install webpack manually

npm install --save-dev webpack

npm install -g webpack-cli

2.- try again and if it does not work for you it would be good if you delete the folder node_modules and re-run npm install

3.- Possibly your webpack.config.js file is failing, it would be very useful if you can show your configuration to make it easier to identify your problem.

4.- If you were not the one who used webpack-cli explicitly, look for the package trying to call webpack-cli and see if it is necessary to do so.
