error: missing script: webpack-dev-server

[lukemt]

i am trying to run this with npm run webpack-dev-server but i get the error-message: missing script: webpack-dev-server
any idea? I tried this locally (os x) and on cloud9(linux) and got the same issue

webpack-dev-server is not a script but a npm dependency, see: https://github.com/vsavkin/tex/blob/master/angular2/package.json

I suspect that you either didn't do npm install or got rather old version of npm

[lukemt]

the npm version is v3.3.12

i actually did do npm install

here is the my output:

angular2 [master●] $ npm install

I've now updated npm to version 3.5. but it didn't help.
