Guide me how to start gulp serve and how resolve these error

Answer 1

I also had a same problem, I was able to solve it by entering this.

npm i browser-sync --save

Answer 2

I tried these steps. Its work for me.

Globally install gulp.

Next need to install the project’s local dependencies (that’s where it’s looking for browser-sync). To do that,

cd into the project directory and run npm install.

Then try gulp serve.

You can also try following lines

npm i browser-sync --save then

npm start
