ERROR in multi common Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'react-router' in /path-to-project/app-name @ multi common

Question

Hopefully I can get some help with this. I am using electron (Atom Shell) with react and webpack to build the UI. When I run npm run build which is within the package.json file

 "scripts": {
    "start": "electron main.js",
    "build": "webpack --progress --profile --colors",
    "watch": "webpack-dev-server --hot --inline --progress --colors"
  },

In running npm run build I get

> electron-quick-start@0.0.1 build /Users/Mavericks/Documents/apps/electron-quick-start
> webpack --progress --profile --colors

I understand that the 3rd error ( ERROR in ./lib/main.js ) its base on babel not compiling the ES6 code. My main issue is why I'm i getting the others

ERROR in multi common
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'react-router' in /Users/Mavericks/Documents/apps/electron-quick-start
 @ multi common

ERROR in multi common
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module 'alt' in /Users/Mavericks/Documents/apps/electron-quick-start
 @ multi common

What I've done prior to my question I removed the node_modules folder and ran npm install ..... still get the same error.

Thank you in advance.

Those errors mean that you haven't installed the corresponding modules. Run npm install --save alt react-router .
