I want to create angular js app using bootstrap, for that I installed node.js pkg file in my mac.
Afterwards I installed yeoman ($sudo npm install --global yo). Documentation says if we install yo then we get grunt and bower automatically installed. In my case grunt and bower are not being installed.
So I decided to install it externally. I used following commands:
$sudo npm install -g bower => it works perfectly and giving me all files and packages.
$ sudo npm install -g grunt => it works perfectly but not giving me all files and packages
grunt are installed on path of usr/local/lib/node_modules/grunt
grunt folder contains files
constributing.md
licenses-mit
readme
aaveyor.yml
internal-tasks
lib
node_modules
package.json
Which files I am missing?
If I run command $ grunt --version then I got following error
-bash: /grunt: No such file or directory
How to resolve this?
You have to run:
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
The global binary command-line tool is grunt-cli, not grunt. It's a little bit confusing in the beginning, as grunt-cli provides a global binary which is callable by grunt.
So, in the end:
Install grunt locally in your application.
Install grunt-cli globally.
Then, you can run grunt from anywhere as expected :-)

Whenever I run gulp, I get the following error:
/usr/local/bin/gulp: No such file or directory
I've followed the answers to several related questions on SO, but none have solved my issue. I've been using gulp without issue for months, but managed to screw it up somehow.
I've removed gulp and gulp-cli (using npm) both locally and globally.
After running the following:
npm install -g gulp-cli
npm install --save-dev gulp
Any command using gulp, even gulp -v returns the error mentioned above. There are no errors during the installation.
I've confirmed there is nothing at /usr/local/bin/gulp, but shouldn't reinstalling things recreate whatever files are supposed to be there?
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT:
Installing gulp globally npm install -g gulp doesn't fix anything.
Do you want to install gulp locally or globally?
Locally
npm install --save-dev gulp gulp-cli should do the trick. You can then run it using:
./node_modules/.bin/gulp
npm run gulp if you add gulp to the scripts section of package.json.
Globally
Most likely you have a $PATH issue.
Did you check where your global libraries are installed by NPM?
npm list -g
Does installing any other global library work, or is it specific to Gulp?
-- Edit --
If you are using NVM, you should add the NVM setup to your rcfile (that is, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile or similar). You can do so by appending these lines to your rcfile.
[[ -s $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh ]] && . $HOME/.nvm/nvm.sh
This will load NVM and update your PATH so that your shell is able to find gulp (or any other globally-installed program by npm or yarn).
Try npx gulp so that npm using the gulp version that is installed in your dependencies.
Installing Grunt
I have osx yosemite, zsh, nvm. The version of node I am using is v0.10.33.
I installed node in a way I do not need to use sudo (node and npm reside in my home folder)
here where I export the global dependencies in my zshrc
export NODE_PATH=/Users/nickname/.node/lib/node_modules/:/Users/nickname/.node/lib/node_modules
Just for information, I am trying to install Ghost (the blogging plataform).
I cloned like this to get the stable version
git clone -b stable https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost.git ghost
and then
cd ghost/
git submodule update --init
npm install -g grunt-cli
npm install
grunt init
The error I am getting is that is not able to find grunt
Ghost git:(stable) grunt init
zsh: command not found: grunt
You're not supposed to install grunt globally, only grunt-cli. The grunt package should be installed in your project directory using something like:
~$ npm install grunt --save-dev
That will add a line to your project's package.json file, then you configure a "Gruntfile.js" for your project with tasks that are run from the command line with:
~$ grunt taskname
On Windows 7, I've installed gulp as explained here: http://markgoodyear.com/2014/01/getting-started-with-gulp/:
npm install gulp -g
In my app folder: npm install gulp --save-dev
I create a gulpfile.js file.
But then, when I try to run gulp, I get this error message:
module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: cannot file module 'gulp-util'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
etc.
But gulp-util is present (in the local app folder) in:
node_modules
gulp
node_modules
gulp-util
Any idea what may be the cause?
UPDATE
From later versions, there is no need to manually install gulp-util.
Check the new getting started page.
If you still hit this problem try reinstalling your project's local packages:
rm -rf node_modules/
npm install
OUTDATED ANSWER
You also need to install gulp-util:
npm install gulp-util --save-dev
From gulp docs- getting started (3.5):
Install gulp and gulp-util in your project devDependencies
If you have a package.json, you can install all the current project dependencies using:
npm install
Any answer didn't help in my case.
What eventually helped was removing bower and gulp (I use both of them in my project):
npm remove -g bower
npm remove -g gulp
After that I installed them again:
npm install -g bower
npm install -g gulp
Now it works just fine.
Linux Ubuntu 18:04 user here.
I tried all the solutions on this board to date. Even though I read above in the accepted answer that "From later versions, there is no need to manually install gulp-util.", it was the thing that worked for me. (...maybe bc I'm on Ubuntu? I don't know. )
To recap, I kept getting the "cannot find module 'gulp-util'" error when just checking to see if gulp was installed by running:
gulp --version
...again, the 'gulp-util' error kept appearing...
So, I followed the npm install [package name] advice listed above, but ended up getting several other packages that needed to be installed as well. And one had a issue of already existing, and i wasn't sure how to replace it. ...I will put all the packages/install commands that I had to use here, just as reference in case someone else experiences this problem:
sudo npm install -g gulp-util
(then I got an error for 'pretty-hrtime' so I added that, and then the others as Error: Cannot find module ___ kept popping up after each gulp --version check. ...so I just kept installing each one.)
sudo npm install -g pretty-hrtime
sudo npm install -g chalk
sudo npm install -g semver --force
(without --force, on my system I got an error: "EEXIST: file already exists, symlink". --force is not recommended, but idk any other way. )
sudo npm install -g archy
sudo npm install -g liftoff
sudo npm install -g tildify
sudo npm install -g interpret
sudo npm install -g v8flags
sudo npm install -g minimist
And now gulp --version is finally showing:
CLI version 3.9.1
Local version 3.9.1
Try to install the missing module.
npm install 'module-name'
Same issue here and whatever I tried after searching around, did not work. Until I saw a remark somewhere about global or local installs. Looking in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\npm\gulp
I indeed found an outdated version. So I reinstalled gulp with:
npm install gulp --global
That magically solved my problem.
You should install these as devDependencies:
- gulp-util
- gulp-load-plugins
Then, you can use them either this way:
var plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')();
Use gulp-util as : plugins.util()
or this:
var util = require('gulp-util')
This will solve all gulp problem
sudo npm install gulp && sudo npm install --save del && sudo gulp build
None of the other answers listed here-- at least by themselves-- solved this for me.
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL2). After reinstalling gulp globally with npm install gulp -g seemingly I needed to log out of my WSL instance and log back in again (closing and reopening my CLI was enough).
Hopefully this helps someone else.
I'm using Linux Mint 20.3. Had this error. Nothing helped.
gulp --version
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:988

Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-cli'
Found a solution after 2 hours of trying different things.
"sudo" ! simple as that.
sudo gulp --version
CLI version: 2.3.0
Local version: 3.9.1
Some gulp commands should be used with sudo to avoid errors
In most cases, deleting all the node packages and then installing them again, solve the problem.
But In my case, the node_modules folder has no write permission.
I had the same issue, although the module that it was downloading was different.
The only resolution to the problem is run the below command again:
npm install
I'm trying to do an intro grunt tutorial. I've installed git, node.js, and grunt globally (or at least I thought I did using: npm install -g grunt (which installs). I then made a quick directory and entered it (mkdir demo, cd demo), but when I type:
> grunt init:node
at the prompt I get the following:
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface (v0.1.11)
Fatal error: unable to find local grunt
If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:
http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
Which I've looked at and it says to do what I'm doing and what the tutorial mentions??? Any ideas what I've done wrong? Node.js and Git have been working fine so I can only assume it is grunt or the install that has failed.
Thanks
with grunt you need two elements. a global grunt-cli as you have installed using npm install -g grunt-cli and also a local (to the project) copy of grunt itself. so in the folder of your project install this with npm install grunt --saveDev this will install a local grunt and also add it to your devDependencies in your package.json file. you will also need a Gruntfile.js in the project folder. This is a great write-up http://www.integralist.co.uk/Grunt-Boilerplate.html
I uninstalled grunt with following command.
npm uninstall -g grunt
Then I again installed grunt with following command.
npm install -g grunt-cli
Visit following link:
https://npmjs.org/package/grunt-html
I want to use the above grunt plugin
But when I run the grunt command it gives me following error:
D:\nodeJS\node_modules\grunt-html>grunt
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.6)
Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.
If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:
http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
All is explained quite nicely on gruntjs.com.
Note that installing grunt-cli does not install the grunt task runner!
The job of the grunt CLI is simple: run the version of grunt which has
been installed next to a Gruntfile. This allows multiple versions of
grunt to be installed on the same machine simultaneously.
So in your project folder, you will need to install (preferably) the latest grunt version:
npm install grunt --save-dev
Option --save-dev will add grunt as a dev-dependency to your package.json. This makes it easy to reinstall dependencies.
You have to install grunt in your project folder
create your package.json
$ npm init
install grunt for this project, this will be installed under node_modules/. --save-dev will add this module to devDependency in your package.json
$ npm install grunt --save-dev
then create gruntfile.js and run
$ grunt
I think you have to add grunt to your package.json file. See this link.
I had this issue on my Windows grunt because I installed the 32 bit version of Node on a 64 bit Windows OS. When I installed the 64bit version specifically, it started working.
I had the same issue today on windows 32 bit,with node 0.10.25, and grunt 0.4.5.
I followed dongho's answer, with just few extra steps.
here are the steps I used to solve the error:
1) create your package.json
$ npm init
2) install grunt for this project, this will be installed under node_modules/. --save-dev will add this module to devDependency in your package.json
$ npm install grunt --save-dev
3) then create gruntfile.js , with a sample code like this:
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
jshint: {
files: ['Gruntfile.js', 'src/**/*.js', 'test/**/*.js'],
options: {
globals: {
jQuery: true
}
}
},
watch: {
files: ['<%= jshint.files %>'],
tasks: ['jshint']
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jshint');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint']);
};
here, src/**/*.js and test/**/*.js should be the paths to actual JS files you are using in your project
4) run npm install grunt-contrib-jshint --save-dev
5) run npm install grunt-contrib-watch --save-dev
6) run $ grunt
Note: when you require common package like concat, uglify etc, you need to add those modules via npm install, just the way we installed jshint and watch in step 4 & 5
if you are a exists project, maybe should execute npm install.
guntjs getting started step 2.
This solved the issue for me. I mistakenly installed grunt using:
sudo npm install -g grunt --save-dev
and then ran the following command in the project folder:
npm install
This resulted in the error seen by the author of the question.
I then uninstalled grunt using:
sudo npm uninstall -g grunt
Deleted the node_modules folder. And reinstalled grunt using:
npm install grunt --save-dev
and running the following in the project folder:
npm install
For some odd reason when you global install grunt using -g and then uninstall it, the node_modules folder holds on to something that prevents grunt from being installed locally to the project folder.
