Gulp command not found after install
I installed gulp(globally) and it looks like it worked because it ran this code:
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected]
├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
└── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected])
But when I type gulp it says -bash: gulp: command not found
Any idea what's going on?
Solution 1:
Turns out that npm was installed in the wrong directory so I had to change the “npm config prefix” by running this code:
npm config set prefix /usr/local
Then I reinstalled gulp globally (with the -g param) and it worked properly.
This article is where I found the solution: http://webbb.be/blog/command-not-found-node-npm
Solution 2:
Not sure why the question was down-voted, but I had the same issue and following the blog post recommended solve the issue. One thing I should add is that in my case, once I ran:
npm config set prefix /usr/local
I confirmed the npm root -g was pointing to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm, but in order to install gulp in /usr/local/lib/node_modules, I had to use sudo:
sudo npm install gulp -g
Solution 3:
If you're using tcsh (which is my default shell on Mac OS X), you probably just need to type rehash into the shell just after the install completes:
npm install -g gulp
followed immediately by:
rehash
Otherwise, if this is your very first time installing gulp, your shell may not recognize that there's a new executable installed -- so you either need to start a new shell, or type rehash in the current shell.
(This is basically a one-time thing for each command you install globally.)
