title: yargs.parse error from webpack.js
body: <p>I am trying to install and use webpack for the first time. After installation I made a small webpack.config.js file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  module.exports = {
        context: __dirname + "/assets/js",
  
        entry: "./react/index.js",
  
        output: {
        filename: "app.js",
        path: __dirname + "/public/assets/js"
    }
  };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then to run webpack I do:</p>
  
  <p><code>node ./node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js</code></p>
  
  <p>This gives me the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/var/www/html/node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js:152
  yargs.parse(process.argv.slice(2), (err, argv, output) =&gt; {
                                                      ^
  SyntaxError: Unexpected token &gt;

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How to fix it?</p>
