How to fix Error: cannot find module "webpack"

Error on console regarding cannot find module "webpack"

Cannot find module 'webpack'
Require stack:
- D:\Nagasai.Works\vMobile-UI\node_modules\@angular-devkit\build-webpack\src\webpack\index.js

The Cannot find module webpack occurs when webpack is not globally installed. It is a problem with the npm script or application

Here is how we can fix

1. Install webpack in the local app folder

Ensure that you have installed the latest version of the webpack by running:

npm install webpack

2. Link webpack to your project

If the above solution does not work, try linking a globally installed webpack to your project. In your project, open the terminal, and type

npm link webpack
