Thanks!

First of all, you have installed webpack, webpack-cli and webpack-dev-server the wrong way. You made them dependencies and not devDependencies. To change that, uninstall them:
npm uninstall webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server
and then install them properly:
npm install webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server --save-dev
Now, webpack-dev-server is in your node_modules folder. You can either run it from your terminal with
node node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js
or (as @nickbullock said), add a script in your package.json file and execute it from your terminal.

webpack dev-server is not installed globally. please add it your scripts section in package.json
"scripts": {
"dev-server": "webpack-dev-server"
}
and then run it from console:
npm run dev-server
Also you can install it globally:
npm install -g webpack-dev-server
then you can run webpack-dev-server command on any project without local installation and adding to the scripts.
If you have global and local webpack-dev-server and using it with scripts, local version will be used.
npm install webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-serverit successfully install, but later doesn't work!node 10.15 && npm 5.8, what the problem?
