Can't install gulp globally - node.js

I can't install gulp globally on my windows 7 machine. I used npm install --global gulp-cli but showed this error:
when i used gulp -v I got this error
please help


At least, It solved! I followed this article install gulp till step #2 then I installed gulp globally on terminal using this code npm install gulp-cli -g.
Thank you everyone for help me.


try this commands:
If you've previously installed gulp globally, try to delete it using:
npm rm --global gulp
After that install new version of gulp using:
npm install --global gulp
npm link gulp
and verify yourgulp version:
gulp --version

Cannot Install Npx

I am getting a strange error when trying to install npx. I have node, but it says I don't.
➜ Desktop brew install npm
Warning: node 14.4.0 is already installed and up-to-date
To reinstall 14.4.0, run `brew reinstall node`
➜ Desktop npm install -g npx
zsh: command not found: npm
Why is that happening?

npx is pre-bundled with npm .no need to install npx. if u want to start a new react project (I presume)give npx create-react-app project name given that you installed the latest node version.

Gulp Command not being found

I have attempted to install Gulp using NPM but the gulp command is not getting recognized. These are the commands I ran. I am using Git Bash and running it as admin. I am using Windows 10.
npm install gulp-cli --global
( Attempt to run 'gulp' and 'gulp -v' and nothing works )
Then navigating to my project folder
npm install gulp --save-dev
( Attempt Gulp command again and it still not recognized )
My env path for npm is C:\Users\ *username* \AppData\Roaming\npm
When I run
npm config get prefix
It returns C:\Program Files\Git\Roaming\npm
I am fairly new to NPM but I have been searching for hours and trying everything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Node and npm multiple times. Sorry if this has been answered before but every other thread I found did not solve this issue.

Install gulp and gulp-cli globally
npm install --global gulp-cli
npm install --global gulp
npm install gulp -D
Update:
Make sure install gulp locally and globally. After that check status using these command :
npm ls
npm ls -g
After that make sure to link gulp
npm link gulp
And maybe you should check you env.
Create an environmental variable called NODE_PATH
Set it to: %AppData%\npm ( It's you npm path )
Close CMD, and Re-Open to get the new ENV variables

Add gulp to scripts in your package.json file:
"scripts": {
"gulp":"gulp"
},
Then you can use the command:
npm run gulp name of task
Writing function like this worked for me:
gulp.task('message', async ( ) => {
console.log('gulp task is working ')
})

This worked for me:
npm config delete prefix

npm install from package.json, the dependancy -v yields command not found

Reinstalled node/npm from scratch and after npm install I can see the node_modules folder with all of the content from package.json. Checking gulp -v gives command not found in the command line on a mac. If I install gulp globally, gulp -v yields the version.
Is there a way of not installing all dependancies globally to use?

Generally gulp is a package which is used to run some task. These task might need to have administrator privileges. So it is better to install it globally using "npm install -g gulp" command. Here -g means "install it globally".
npm install installs the package locally.

npm install error not installing BrowserSync package

Trying to install BrowserSync
I've followed the steps to install the package through the command line, installed node.js and then I went on to install npm through the command line.
Now when I try to install browser-sync with the following line npm install -g browser-sync you will see it is not recognized when I check the version and its the same when I try do anything like start --server?
note tried installing another package as a test jshint successfully installs/uninstalls but displays the same message when checking its version.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried like below? (http://www.browsersync.io/#install)
npm install -g browser-sync
-g means global.
