I had to run webpack-cli init

I was able to clone the repo and do npm install for both the agent and customer. Could you please give some more details on what steps you took to get this error? Thanks.

I tried re-installing the /agent and /customer apps as instructed in the README. I did not found the stated error. One reason may be the extract-text-webpack-plugin and webpack version. This plugin was deprecated in Webpack 4. You can try removing extract-text-webpack-plugin from package.json of both apps since we do not use it anyway and do npm install again, this may solve the dependency resolution problem. Both the apps use the updated and recommended mini-css-extract-plugin. You can check this Webpack issue comment for more information.

Closing the issue. Please feel free to re-open if you still face the issue.
