Hey there, I’m just dipping my toes into serverless as a prototype for a project at work. I’ve come into a Node.js shop from a C# background so I’m a huge typescript fan. Therefore I started with the `aws-nodejs-typescript` template. I’m just trying to deploy the scaffold project that the `serverless create` generates so I can see everything work end to end before I start coding. However I’m getting an error that says `serverless-webpack` is having a problem because it can’t find the module `webpack`. But that is defined in my `package.json`, any thoughts?

@piersmacdonald Did you run `npm install` from the folder that contains the `package.json`? If you have you should see a `node_modules` folder. If not then run `npm install` before `sls deploy`.

Derp.

Yes, that was it.

Sorry about that. As I mentioned, I’m from a .NET background where deploys trigger a build and builds trigger a package install. This isn’t the first time I’ve forgot to do those independently. I’ll catch on.

Thanks @buggy !
