I have a problem installing grunt. All the documentation, and blog post tutorials, say that running:
npm install -g grunt will then allow you to run grunt commands from the terminal.
I have a situation where grunt appears to install with no errors, but typing the command grunt in the terminal still gives:
-bash: grunt: command not found What could I be doing wrong? And where could I find grunt to add it to my BASH profile manually?

npm install -g grunt-cli. This will put the grunt command in your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory. 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 .
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.
Since Grunt version 0.4 (which was released 1 or 2 weeks ago) you need to install the grunt command line tool globally (if needed, use sudo before the command):
npm install -g grunt-cli In your project location you then install the latest grunt version:
npm install grunt --save-dev Option --save-dev will save the npm config in your package.json file, which makes it easier to install or reinstall the dependencies (using just npm install).
