`npm run build` fails if webpack isn't globally installed

See original GitHub issue

First, great tool! Thanks for your hard work on this!

I’m able to run the tool and start a node server with the example documentation, but I want to get the static files for my documentation.

Following the directions in the readme. I ran npm run build, but it fails…

npm ERR! not with npm itself.
npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
npm ERR!     npm run clean && NODE_ENV=production webpack --config webpack/config.prod.withjs.babel.js && rm build/static-*

I then installed webpack globally. I had to then clean the project, re-init, install, and then the command worked.

It would be good to add to the documentation that webpack is required to be globally installed, or if possible, make that not a requirement.

Thanks.

I discovered, npm run build works if you do npm install first. I’ll doubbly confirm this next week as I re-tweak my npm doc generation pipeline!
