Answer 1

The package extract-text-webpack-plugins is no longer available on NPM, so there is no way to install.

Allies, it was supposed to happen error 404:

C:\teste>npm i --save-dev [email protected]
npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/extract-text-webpack-plugins - Not found

What do you mean unseen, 405 probably occurred for one of the following reasons:

• Bug in your version of NPM
• Are you using some proxy

How to install a package outside of NPM?

As I said, there is no more this package in NPM, if you access https://github.com/webpack-contrib/extract-text-webpack-plugin#deprecated will read the message:

DEPRECATED

Please use: https://github.com/webpack-contrib/mini-css-extract-plugin

In short, you can try (I don’t know if it works with webpack1):

npm install --save-dev mini-css-extract-plugin

Or if you really want to use a package that does not exist in NPM install pointing a link from an online repository, example:

npm install user-name/repo-name#webpack-1 --save-dev
