Question

I only want to install gulp locally on mac, how to run the gulp command

Answer 1

npm script

Add

gulpscript to ｀scripts｀ of package.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 <gulp-install-dir>, and then add the directory <gulp-install-dir>/node_modules/.bin to the environment variable

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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 use npm run gulp to run the gulp installed in the project

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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

Try npm link ?
