`npm run gulp` can not find module 'gulp-shell'? - node.js

Question

I've deleted node modules folder and installed npm using npm install command. My gulpfile.js is also perfect because other people are working perfectly with this config, even I did with this config from my another machine. But when I try to run npm run gulp from current machine it shows below errors.
Fahads-MacBook-Pro:dark-web jim$ npm run gulp

Your package.json is missing the gulp-shell package. You have to install it with npm install --save gulp-shell (or --save-dev if you want to put it under devDependencies). Not sure how others got it working, but I'm pretty confident they have installed it themselves, similarly to what I've suggested, without the save flag, which is the reason it's missing in package.json.
