npm script

gulpscriptto ｀scripts｀ ofpackage.json

"scripts": { "gulp": "gulp" }

npm run gulp -- --version

The disadvantage of this method is that it can only be run under the current project

Environment variables

Find the gulp installation directory , and then add the directory /node_modules/.bin to the environment variable

I don’t quite understand your question. I only want to install it locally. Does it mean that gulp is not included when deployed to the server?

Using npm run can solve this problem.
Or when executing gulp in the current directory, writing ./gulp can also solve the problem.

I don’t understand the reason for not installing gulp globally.

Run it directly under your project

./node_modules/.bin/gulp

It is recommended to install it globally or use npm script as other answerers said

// package.json { "devDependencies": { "gulp": "^3.9.1" }, "scripts": { "start": "gulp" } }

Run

npm start

You cannot use the gulp command directly in the terminal without sudo to install gulp globally.

Alternatively, you can write"gulp": "gulp xxx"in the npm script of package.json to usenpm run gulpto run the gulp installed in the project

npm run ‘xx’ way. Don't run gulp directly.

Don’t want to install it globally, but want to use gulp in the command line?

Try npm link ?
