Thanks @etpinard

I also can't reproduce - I can delete and reinstall @plotly/d3-sankey v0.5.0 with no errors.
OS X 10.13.4 with node 8.9.4, npm 5.8.0

I don't see how it would cause such a problem, but note plotly.js uses d3 v3 still - and we've seen it cause occasional problems in the front end if both v3 and v4 (or 5) are loaded in one page - see eg https://github.com/plotly/plotly-webpack/issues/5

Resolved; re-tried npm install plotly.js a few times; likely an issue with my proxy settings.
