I installed gulp(globally) and it looks like it worked because it ran this code:
├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) ├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) ├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) ├── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) └── [email protected] ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]) But when I type gulp it says -bash: gulp: command not found
Any idea what's going on?

First run npm -g install gulp-cli then run gulp -v. Alternatively, you can just run npm list gulp.
You can check where it is by typing in npm root -g in the command line. For Mac users, if the root command returns a directory like /Users/YOURNAME/node_modules then this will cause the command not found error. Then you should be able to install the Gulp CLI globally and Gulp locally.
To install Gulp locally, navigate to your project directory and run npm install gulp . You can save it to your package. json dependencies by running npm install gulp --save-dev . Once you have Gulp installed locally, you can then proceed to create your gulpfile.
Turns out that npm was installed in the wrong directory so I had to change the “npm config prefix” by running this code:
npm config set prefix /usr/local Then I reinstalled gulp globally (with the -g param) and it worked properly.

Not sure why the question was down-voted, but I had the same issue and following the blog post recommended solve the issue. One thing I should add is that in my case, once I ran:
npm config set prefix /usr/local I confirmed the npm root -g was pointing to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm, but in order to install gulp in /usr/local/lib/node_modules, I had to use sudo:
sudo npm install gulp -g
