Expected behavior
The getting started guide doesn't fail in early steps.
Actual behavior
Just started following the up and running guide on the phoenix documentation for version 1.5.9 at: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/up_and_running.html#content.
Running the first step is fine:
mix phx.new antenna

Fetch and install dependencies? [Yn] Y
* running mix deps.get
* running cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --mode development
* running mix deps.compile
We are almost there! The following steps are missing:
    $ cd antenna
    $ cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --mode development
Then configure your database in config/dev.exs and run:
    $ mix ecto.create
Start your Phoenix app with:
    $ mix phx.server
You can also run your app inside IEx (Interactive Elixir) as:
    $ iex -S mix phx.server
From there, I go into the next step:
$ cd antenna
$ cd assets && npm install && node node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --mode development

I am not familiar with npm but I thought this part would be straightforward, any idea what is going here?
