sqlite3 example - Unexpected identifier with import webpack from 'webpack'

[cybex-dev]

I am new with ElectronJs & React, but more familiar with the standard NodeJS.

I wish to get more familiar with electron-react-boliderplate, not finding much docs, I go to the examples. See below for steps taken.

TL;DR SQLite3 example does not install deps

Steps Taken

Clone examples repo
https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/examples

Installing dependencies with
yarn install

Please note I have python2.7 installed

Output

"C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.js" install
yarn install v1.17.3

Did I miss something or do something wrong?
