How to run build after install in webpack library

Question

I have this library https://github.com/dhilst/webpacklibraryexample

I can install it by yarn add git+https://github.com/dhilst/webpacklibraryexample.git but it wont build (run webpack) after install. I expect that dist/ folder is present after the installation finishes.

If I try to use I got an Cannot find module error. What I'm doing wrong?

Regards,

Okay I got this. You need the prepare instead of build as in docs:

If the package being installed contains a prepare script, its dependencies and devDependencies will be installed, and the prepare script will be run, before the package is packaged and installed.

Also webpack-cli was missing at devDependencies .
