not finding webpack-dev-server in Windows.

tried adding following to package.json, which didn't make a difference:

"start": "webpack-dev-server --hot -d --config webpack.dev.config.js --content-base public/ --progress --colors"

but also tried globally installing based on some stackoverflow responses, which also didn't work:

$ npm install -g webpack-dev-server

remove from package.json line above:

-d --config webpack.dev.config.js --content-base public/ --progress --colors

$ npm start

angular2-webpack@1.0.0 start C:\Users\Man\project\app
webpack-dev-server --hot -d --config webpack.dev.config.js --content-base public/ --progress port 8080

If you have installed it locally, then try the below command from your root directory i.e. from the directory where your package.json exists:

node_modules.bin\webpack-dev-server --config=config/webpack.dev.js
