How to run gulp in windows 7?

gulp

I'm trying to run gulp on windows 7. I believe I have all dependencies but when I type gulp in the default cmd or posh-git, I receive the following error:

gulp : The term 'gulp' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,
verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ gulp
+ ~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (gulp:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

What should I do to make it work?

Here are the console messages I receive when trying to install gulp

Update #1

From the npm output it seems, that the version of node.js you have installed, is too old:

npm WARN engine gulp@ 3.4.0: wanted: {
    "node": ">= 0.9"
}(current: {
    "node": "v0.8.22",
    "npm": "1.2.14"
})

Your version is 0.8.22, and gulp requires 0.9 or newer. Try upgrading your node.js first, and then try again.

Original answer

To install gulp you need to run this:

npm install gulp -g

This will install gulp globally, and that means the gulp.cmd will be accessible in

C:\Users\[yourAwesomeLogin]\AppData\Roaming\npm

So, just make sure, you have that directory in your PATH.
