I cannot get grunt to work at all on Windows 7. Following the instructions on the Grunt website (http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) I've run:
npm uninstall -g grunt-cli
npm uninstall grunt
npm uninstall -g grunt-init
git clone [email protected]:gruntjs/grunt-init-jquery.git c:/Users/me/.grunt-init/jquery
npm install -g grunt-cli
grunt-init jquery
npm install .
After that, running "grunt" produces the following output:
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.9)
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
The output of npm list grunt is:

Running "npm install grunt" in the current directory gives the same error when running grunt.
Any thoughts? My understanding is that grunt-cli is meant to look for a local grunt install, but I can't work out why it can't find it.

Installing grunt-cli locally js method to get started with a project ( npm install && npm test ) then install grunt-cli locally with npm install grunt-cli --save-dev . Then add a script to your package. json to run the associated grunt command: "scripts": { "test": "grunt test" } .
Installing a published development version Like installing a specific version of grunt, run npm install grunt@VERSION --save-dev where VERSION is the version you need, and npm will install that version of Grunt in your project folder, adding it to your package.
Installing the CLI. Run sudo npm install -g grunt-cli (Windows users should omit "sudo ", and may need to run the command-line with elevated privileges). The grunt command-line interface comes with a series of options. Use grunt -h from your terminal to show these options.
I know its been 2 years since this question was asked. However if someone wants in future:
I got the exact same issue. And I got this fixed by installing grunt locally. As per grunt site,
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 I just got it working by installing Grunt locally.
npm install grunt --save-dev
--save : adds it to your package.json.
-dev: adds it as a dev dependency.

There must be a Gruntfile.js located in the directory you run the command from. Also double check that 'npm install grunt' actually gave you a node_modules directory with a sub directory called grunt.

You should install grunt in GUI mode.
Open node.js cmd prompt then open the root folder and run the below commands
npm install ( once it done you can able to see node_modules folder in the root folder)
npm install –g grunt-cli (change the version from ("version": "minified" to Current release("version":"1.11"); you should replace with minified once you run build)
grunt build:full
Note: Version has to change when running grunt very first time.
