I removed the old version of grunt first, then I installed the new grunt version, and then I got this error:
D:\www\grunt-test\grunt grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.4)
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
Is this because there is not a reference to grunt in my system path? Or something else? I tried to re-install it a few times already.

In order to get started, you'll want to install Grunt's command line interface (CLI) globally. You may need to use sudo (for OSX, *nix, BSD etc) or run your command shell as Administrator (for Windows) to do this. This will put the grunt command in your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
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 think you don't have a grunt.js file in your project directory. Use grunt:init, which gives you options such as jQuery, node,commonjs. Select what you want, then proceed. This really works. For more information you can visit this.
Do this:
1. npm install -g grunt 2. grunt:init ( you will get following options ): jquery: A jQuery plugin node: A Node module commonjs: A CommonJS module gruntplugin: A Grunt plugin gruntfile: A Gruntfile (grunt.js) 3 .grunt init:jquery (if you want to create a jQuery related project.). It should work.
Solution for v1.4:
1. npm install -g grunt-cli 2. npm init fill all details and it will create a package.json file. 3. npm install grunt (for grunt dependencies.) Edit : Updated solution for new versions:
npm install grunt --save-dev Unable to find local Grunt likely means that you have installed Grunt globally.
The Grunt CLI insists that you install grunt in your local node_modules directory, so Grunt is local to your project.
This will fail:
npm install -g grunt Do this instead:
npm install grunt --save-dev If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
