No local gulp install found even after installing npm install -g gulp

Question

I tried to install gulp by

npm install -g gulp 

The output seems to be something like this. (i have skipped some logs)

npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/string_decoder npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash._htmlescapes /usr/bin/gulp -> /usr/lib/node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js [email protected] /usr/lib/node_modules/gulp ├── [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]) 

In the above script i can see a line /usr/bin/gulp -> /usr/lib/node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js which i guess is making a simulink in bin folder. So i should be getting gulp globally but i get the this error.

No local gulp install found in /var/www/ksapp 

Any idea why i am getting this error.

Thanks

As pointed out in the doc, you should install it globally (you did that) and add it to your project dev deps (locally):

npm install gulp --save-dev

I faced the same issue. Got it resolved by creating a link

npm link gulp
