In order to create a Webpack-based application, the first step is to download the skeletons from https://github.com/aurelia/skeleton-navigation/releases/latest and to unzip the file. The root folder contains a distinct directory for each available skeleton. The one we aim to keep here is named skeleton-esnext-webpack.
The Webpack skeleton uses NPM as its package manager. As such, we need to install the project's dependencies by opening a console in the project directory and running the following command:
> npm install
Once this is done, the sample application is ready to run.
