I’m not completely clear on the magical algorithm Webpack uses to find things, but it is possible you will need to try holding its hand here a bit. One thing you could try is to follow the instructions in [this post](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/adding-custom-webpack-loaders-to-ionic2/77833/2?u=rapropos) to get a custom webpack configuration and try adding the following to it:

```auto
alias: {
  "pubnub-angular2": "pubnub-angular2/dist/pubnub-angular2.js"
}

```
