Не запускается gulp в windows 10 - Доктор Windows

I’ve installed gulp both globally and locally using

npm install gulp
npm install gulp -g
npm install gulp-util
npm install gulp-util -g

When try to run gulp i get

'gulp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Running npm list gulp (or -g), I gulp@3.7.0 with the location of either my global or local gulp installation.

I’ve tried running node gulpfile.js pointed to my gulpfile, and it runs without error, and of course, it starts with require('gulp').

Any suggestions on getting gulp working on Windows(8.1)?

You forgot to install the gulp-cli package:

npm install -g gulp-cli

Then you can run the command «gulp» from the command line.

The issue and answer can be found in this question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9588052/1041104

The npm modules such as gulp are not installed to the path. Thus are not found when you run them in the CMD.

If gulp has been installed globally, you can use the process below:

Create an environmental variable called NODE_PATH
Set it to: %AppData%npmnode_modules or %AppData%npm on windows 8-10
Close CMD, and Re-Open to get the new ENV variables

Running npm ls and npm ls -g shows that they are installed, but the CMD can not find them due to the missing link.

Be sure that you have gulp and gulp.cmd (use windows search)
Copy the path of gulp.cmd (C:UsersXXXXAppDataRoamingnpm)
Add this path to the Path envirement variable or edit PATH environment variable and add %APPDATA%npm
Reopen cmd.

Add %APPDATA%npm to front of Path, not end of the Path.

Install gulp globally.

npm install -g gulp
Install gulp locally in the project.

npm install gulp
Add below line in your package.json

"scripts": { "gulp": "gulp" }
Run gulp.

npm run gulp

This worked for me.

I am using Windows 8.1. I had the same problem.

I installed gulp using Node.js command prompt

npm install -g gulp

Then go to the required directory in Node.js command prompt and try

gulp -v

If you get gulp local version not found exit the current Node.js command prompt and try the above command in a new Node.js command prompt

I tried the NODE_PATH mentioned by @SteveLacy but the command prompt was still not able to detect gulp command

Had the same problem, not really best solution but install it globally:

npm install -g gulp

Of course it’s best to still have it in package.json, so you can do the following to install it locally and add an entry into package.json:

npm install --save-dev gulp

Everything else (gulp plugins) install also locally.

I was having the same problem when trying to get gulp working on a co-workers VM. It seems the problem stems from the users folder.

Adding NODE_PATH in my environment variables didn’t fix the problem.

If you edit your ‘Path’ variable in your system variables and add ‘%APPDATA%npm’ at the end of that, it should fix the problem… Unless you or somebody else npm installed gulp as another user than the one you’re currently logged in as.

If you want it to be available for all users, put ‘C:UsersyourUserAppDataRoamingnpm'(or where ever you have gulp) explicitly instead of using ‘%APPDATA%npm’. You can also move the files to a more user-indifferent path.

Don’t forget to start a new cmd prompt, because the one you have open won’t get the new ‘Path’ variable automatically.

Now ‘gulp’.

Go to npm folder
Copy whole path like «C:UsersBlah…npm»

Click on Environment Variables
Click on Edit Path
Add that «C:UsersBlah…npm» to the end and type «;» after that

You should first install gulp as global using:

npm install gulp -g

Otherwise the path solution will not resolve the problem.

Then add the npm modules path to the PATH using:

PATH = %PATH%;%APPDATA%npm

I had a similar problem setting it up in windows 10. My answer is windows specific (look at the answers for modifying path in bash for a linux or OSX solution)

The core problem I had was that npm’s folder was not registered in the path.
I originally tried changing this in cmd prompt.

setx path "%path%;%appdata$npm"

Note that I used setx instead of set to ensure that the update to the environmental variable remains. Also note that it’s a backslash.

This should work but for me it didn’t because setx has a limit of only accepting 1024 characters… (yes it’s nonsensical to me as well).

So try the above and if you get a warning like did about reaching the 1024 limit, then you can do the other way I ended up doing.

First while youre still in the console, type: echo %appdata%npm … this is your npm folder that you want to add to the path so add it to your clipboard.

You have to go into the registry and reach the following folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerEnvironment

Then append the ‘Path’ value with the npm folder path in your clipboard. Reboot to activate the new value and you should now be good to go.

Finally, just test it all out

This ended up being a ‘user’ issue with me. I had installed npm and node on the system logged in as user1, then I set-up user2. I could run node, and I could run npm commnds, but could not run any npm packages from the command line.

I uninstalled node and npm, and reinstalled under the correct user in order to solve the problem. After that I can run packages from the command-line without issue.

The top answer did not work for me.

I am using a virtual machine that had a previous owner. The previous owner had an old version of npm installed. Using that, I was installed gulp globally with npm install -g gulp. Running the command gulp would return 'gulp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.. As I said, the top Answer did not fix my problem. I basically had to reinstall nodejs.

Solution

Re-download nodejs
npm install -g gulp
gulp -version

This fixed the problem for me.

The NodeJS installer appears to add the user/AppData/Roaming/npm path to the user environment path, which is appropriate.

Normally, the PATH environment variable at the command line is the combination of the user environment path and the system environment path.

However, if the user environment path + the system environment path is larger than about 1920 characters, Windows does not not combine the user and system paths — only the system environment path is used.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21270921/301152

So, when you open the Advanced System Settings in Windows to edit your environment variables, take a look to see if the user/AppData/Roaming/npm path is already in your user environment PATH. If it is, then the problem is that your user + system paths are too long, causing Windows to ignore your user path. Trim your user and/or system path strings and gulp should work as installed.

If you can’t find anything to trim away from your user and system paths, then add the user/AppData/Roaming/npm path to the system environment path and call it a hack.

This is most commonly because it is not found on environment variables as others have pointed out. This is what worked for me.

echo %PATH%

This will show you what’s one your PATH environment variable. If node_modules is not there there do the following to add it from your APPDATA path.

PATH = %PATH%; %APPDATA%npm

On my Windows 10 Enterprise, gulp was not installed in %AppData%, which is C:UsersusernameAppDatanpmnode_modules on my machine, but in C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalnpmnode_modules.

To get gulp to be picked up at the command prompt or in powershell, I added to the user PATH the value C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalnpm. After that it worked like a charm. Naturally I had to close the command prompt or powershell window and re-open for the above to take effect.

You should add %NODE_PATH% to the system variable Path if the other answers don’t work.

The reason:

The point is, command prompt only executes programs under the Path system variable, not the user variables. If you have NODE_PATH set as a user variable, add %NODE_PATH% to Path.

Running npm list gulp (or -g), I gulp@3.7.0 with the location of either my global or local gulp installation.

I’ve tried running node gulpfile.js pointed to my gulpfile, and it runs without error, and of course, it starts with require('gulp').

Any suggestions on getting gulp working on Windows(8.1)?

You forgot to install the gulp-cli package:

npm install -g gulp-cli

Then you can run the command «gulp» from the command line.

The issue and answer can be found in this question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9588052/1041104

The npm modules such as gulp are not installed to the path. Thus are not found when you run them in the CMD.

If gulp has been installed globally, you can use the process below:

Create an environmental variable called NODE_PATH
Set it to: %AppData%npmnode_modules or %AppData%npm on windows 8-10
Close CMD, and Re-Open to get the new ENV variables

Running npm ls and npm ls -g shows that they are installed, but the CMD can not find them due to the missing link.

Be sure that you have gulp and gulp.cmd (use windows search)
Copy the path of gulp.cmd (C:UsersXXXXAppDataRoamingnpm)
Add this path to the Path envirement variable or edit PATH environment variable and add %APPDATA%npm
Reopen cmd.

Add %APPDATA%npm to front of Path, not end of the Path.

Install gulp globally.

npm install -g gulp
Install gulp locally in the project.

npm install gulp
Add below line in your package.json

"scripts": { "gulp": "gulp" }
Run gulp.

npm run gulp

This worked for me.

I am using Windows 8.1. I had the same problem.

I installed gulp using Node.js command prompt

npm install -g gulp

Then go to the required directory in Node.js command prompt and try

gulp -v

If you get gulp local version not found exit the current Node.js command prompt and try the above command in a new Node.js command prompt

I tried the NODE_PATH mentioned by @SteveLacy but the command prompt was still not able to detect gulp command

Had the same problem, not really best solution but install it globally:

npm install -g gulp

Of course it’s best to still have it in package.json, so you can do the following to install it locally and add an entry into package.json:

npm install --save-dev gulp

Everything else (gulp plugins) install also locally.

I was having the same problem when trying to get gulp working on a co-workers VM. It seems the problem stems from the users folder.

Adding NODE_PATH in my environment variables didn’t fix the problem.

Don’t forget to start a new cmd prompt, because the one you have open won’t get the new ‘Path’ variable automatically.

Now ‘gulp’.

One right way:

Cmd + R : type «%appdata%»
Go to npm folder
Copy whole path like «C:UsersBlah…npm»
Go to My Computer + Right Click «Properties»
Advanced System Settings (On the left)
Click on Environment Variables
Click on Edit Path
Add that «C:UsersBlah…npm» to the end and type «;» after that
Click ok and reopen cmd

You should first install gulp as global using:

npm install gulp -g

Otherwise the path solution will not resolve the problem.

Then add the npm modules path to the PATH using:

PATH = %PATH%;%APPDATA%npm

I had a similar problem setting it up in windows 10. My answer is windows specific (look at the answers for modifying path in bash for a linux or OSX solution)

The core problem I had was that npm’s folder was not registered in the path.
I originally tried changing this in cmd prompt.

setx path "%path%;%appdata$npm"

Note that I used setx instead of set to ensure that the update to the environmental variable remains. Also note that it’s a backslash.

This should work but for me it didn’t because setx has a limit of only accepting 1024 characters… (yes it’s nonsensical to me as well).

So try the above and if you get a warning like did about reaching the 1024 limit, then you can do the other way I ended up doing.

First while youre still in the console, type: echo %appdata%npm … this is your npm folder that you want to add to the path so add it to your clipboard.

You have to go into the registry and reach the following folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerEnvironment

Then append the ‘Path’ value with the npm folder path in your clipboard. Reboot to activate the new value and you should now be good to go.

Finally, just test it all out

>npm install -g gulp
>gulp

The NodeJS installer appears to add the user/AppData/Roaming/npm path to the user environment path, which is appropriate.

Normally, the PATH environment variable at the command line is the combination of the user environment path and the system environment path.

See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21270921/301152

If you can’t find anything to trim away from your user and system paths, then add the user/AppData/Roaming/npm path to the system environment path and call it a hack.

(Windows 10) I didn’t like the path answers. I use choco package manager for node.js. Gulp would not fire for me unless it was:

Globally installed npm i -g gulp and local dir npm i --save-dev gulp
The problem persisted beyond this once, which was fixed by completely removing node.js and reinstalling it.

I didn’t see any comments about local/global and node.js removal/reinstall.

answered Jun 2, 2018 at 15:32

This is most commonly because it is not found on environment variables as others have pointed out. This is what worked for me.

echo %PATH%

This will show you what’s one your PATH environment variable. If node_modules is not there there do the following to add it from your APPDATA path.

PATH = %PATH%; %APPDATA%npm

I already had the one condition from this answer (I don’t know why)

https://stackoverflow.com/a/27295145/1175496

That is, my PATH already included %APPDATA%npm

In my case, the problem was npm was not installing modules there (again, I don’t know why)

Therefore I needed to do this:

$ npm config set prefix -g %APPDATA%/npm

After that, running
$ npm install -g gulp (or installing any other module) put the module in the place where PATH expects it.

In short:

You should add %NODE_PATH% to the system variable Path if the other answers don’t work.

The reason:

The point is, command prompt only executes programs under the Path system variable, not the user variables. If you have NODE_PATH set as a user variable, add %NODE_PATH% to Path.

I asked here and got marked duplicate for a question with different intention

Первым делом нужно установить платформу node js, чтобы разработчикам были доступны команды npm. Через команду npm, мы в дальнейшем установим и сам Gulp. В контексте работы с Gulp, мы будем использовать этот многофункциональный инструмент node js, как пакетный менеджер.

Установка node js

Скачиваем на сайте nodejs.org стабильную версию Node, рекомендованную для большинства пользователей. Система автоматически определит вашу операционную систему и выдаст подходящую ссылку на скачивание.

После скачивания запускаем установщик и делаем все, как на скриншотах.

Когда установщик закончит свою работу, откроется консоль и вы увидите следующее.

Как запустить консоль Windows 10 PowerShell

Работа на платформе node js ведется через npm команды, вводимые в консоль. У Windows 10 имеется встроенная консоль PowerShell, чтобы консоль запустилась, нужно зайти в папку проекта и зажав сочетание клавиш CTRL+SHIFT, выбрать из контекстного меню «Открыть окно PowerShell здесь».

Узнать версию node js

Для того чтобы убедится установился ли node js, проверяем его версию. Вводим в консоли команду node -v, если в ответ вы увидите название версии v.12.16.1, значит все в порядке. Делает такую же проверку и для npm. Команда npm -v должна вернуть номер версии 6.13.4. Все проверяемые номера версий актуальны на момент выхода этой статьи, у вас скорее всего будут уже другие номера версий.

Установка Gulp под Windows 10

Переходим на сайт gulpjs, запускаем в консоли команду npm install gulp-cli -g. Данная команда устанавливает Gulp глобально, то есть запускать его можно из любой папки на компьютере. Вроде как Gulp установился, но при проверки версии gulp -v, мы видим следующую картину. Что-то пошло не так.

Ошибка при установки Gulp

Система нам говорит (смотрим сообщение в консоли), что невозможно загрузить файл (gulp.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled) и предлагает почитать статью на сайте Microsoft о Политиках исполнения. Из статьи становится понятно, что политика выполнения PowerShell практикуется только на платформах Windows. Блокируется запуск скриптов с расширением .ps1. Что делать в таком случае? Меняем дефолтные настройки Windows через командную строку PowerShell.

Запускаем PowerShell от имени администратора
Проверяем текущие параметры для политики выполнения: Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
Устанавливаем требуемый уровень (меняем политику выполнения) Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope LocalMachine Unrestricted
Проверяем версию Gulp, если после ввода gulp -v, вы видите CLI version: 2.2.0, значит установка прошла успешно.

Существенное дополнение

Если вы пишите код в редакторе VS Code, то вам вообще не нужна никакая консоль. У редактора имеется встроенный терминал, как раз для ввода различных команд. Больше не надо переключаться между отдельными вкладками, когда все в одном месте.

Обновите пакеты, Gulp локальный и глобальный.

Да ни на что не ругается. Просто запускает стартовую страницу без стилей.

Так у Вас все работает, он сообщил ip и порты по которым работает сайт. Проверьте путь к css

Сначала нужно сформировать минифицированный CSS а для этого нужно запустить таск style.
После чего запускаете gulp.

У меня так же было, при запуске gulp тоже запустился проект без стилей. Посмотрел в папке app и увидел что отсутствует файл main.min.css. Просто запустил gulp style, после чего сформировался файл стилей ну и далее просто gulp. Компиляция SASS после этого нормально проходит.

Обычно не нужно запускать таск стилей отдельно. Посмотрите внимательно в галп-файле, какой синтаксис используете и в каком стили пишете)

Хотя по идее должно работать просто запустив Gulp, так как таск styles выполняется первым…

Скорее всего или ошибка в стилях (точка с запятой к примеру в scss не проставлена) или синтаксис неверный. Хотя, если ошибка в стилях, консоль ругнуться должна. Но вроде было такое на памяти, что консоль молчала, а стили не компилились

Таки да)

Вот я тоже так сначала думал) не знаю почему но при распаковке архива, запуске npm i, затем gulp — в самый первый раз запускается без стилей. То есть при первом запуске почему-то таск styles не выполняется. Хотя синтаксис проверял изначально (использую SASS). Кстати при запуске во второй и последующие разы, отрабатывает нормально, даже если специально удалить файл main.min.css

Хотя по идее должно работать просто запустив Gulp, так как таск styles выполняется первым…

После запуска gulp выполняется watch, styles будет выполняться только если будут изменения в наблюдаемых файлах.

Да, кстати, сейчас вот специально скачал, проверил. При первом запуске style.min.css не компилится. Как только вносишь изменения в scsssass сразу компилится))

Ну вот и разобрались. Продолжаем работать, спасибо!

Та же проблема и не получается решить, помогите, пожалуйста.

На чтение 3 мин. Опубликовано 15.12.2019

Я пытаюсь использовать Gulp и Node. Js, чтобы передать мой процесс для минимизации и конкатенации файлов CSS/JS для производства.

Вот что я сделал.

Я установил Node.Js на свою машину под Windows 7.
Установленный Gulp глобально с использованием этой команды npm install -g gulp
Затем я добавил новую переменную пользователя с именем NODE_PATH , установив ее в %AppData%
pm
ode_modules

После закрытия и повторного открытия моей командной строки я попытался запустить задачу Gulp из командной строки (т.е. gulp css ). Но это дает мне следующую ошибку:

Как я могу заставить это работать?

Когда я открыл следующий путь, используя панель поиска в окнах, %AppData%
pm
ode_modules Я вижу следующие две папки

Я попытался добавить %AppData%
pm
ode_modules в переменную Path в свою системную переменную, но она не приняла ее, потому что эта переменная достигла максимума допустимых фрахтователей.

Я удалил пару путей из моей переменной Path и добавил ;C:Users[MyWindowsUserName]AppDataRoaming
pm
ode_modules

но все еще работает.

Я даже пытался установить путь во время выполнения с помощью этой команды

PATH=%PATH%;C:Users[MyWindowsUserName]AppDataRoaming
pm
ode_modules затем запустите gulp и все те же проблемы.

Что мне здесь не хватает? Что еще мне нужно, чтобы заставить это работать?

Ребята, спасайте! Суть в том, что этот же проект работает отлично на одном компе, а когда пытаюсь запустить его на другом — не отрабатывает только таску, которая компилирует scss в css. И только на этом компе! Все остальное работает по отдельности отлично.

ошибок нет пути все правильные ничего не менялось, но на одном компе пашет, а на другом — нет.

Installing Gulp for the first time can be tricky, this tutorial will guide you through every step of the installation. The steps below are for the installation of Gulp on a Windows 10 PC. If you have any issues installing Gulp, enter a full description of the issue in the comments section at the bottom of this page.

#1 Install NPM ( Node.js )

Download the 64 bits version of NPM
Install it anywhere you want, by default: C:Program Filesnodejs
On your computer go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables
Select PATH and choose to edit it.
If the PATH variable is empty, change it to this ( replacing {YOUR USERNAME HERE} with your username for your windows account ): C:Users{YOUR USERNAME HERE}AppDataRoamingnpm;C:Program Filesnodejs
If the PATH variable already contains C:Users{YOUR USERNAME HERE}AppDataRoamingnpm, append the following right after: ;C:Program Filesnodejs
Open your file explorer and navigate to C:Users{YOUR USERNAME HERE}AppDataRoaming You will notice that there is no /npm/ folder, simply create the folder by right clicking and selecting “add new folder” then name it “npm”
Restart your command line or open one by clicking search at the bottom and typing in “cmd”, you can check if NPM has been successfully installed by running npm -v, This should return a version number

#2 Create your gulpfile.js

A Javascript file is required to run gulp tasks as they will need to be configured.

Create a file named gulpfile.js in the folder which you would like to use Gulp and add the following:

// Require Gulp into file and define the variable var gulp = require('gulp'); // Run the example task, if installed correctly and "gulp talktome" is ran, "Hello From Zestcode" should be printed in the logs gulp.task('talktome', function() { console.log('Hello From Zestcode'); });

#3 Install Gulp

To install Gulp, open the terminal in the same directory you created the gulpfile.js file and run npm i gulp --save-dev, once it has finished running type gulp talktome in to the command line. Hello From Zestcode should appear in the terminal. If it does, congratulations! You have successfully installed NPM & Gulp.

#4 Finding & Installing Custom Packages

Now you have Gulp running and working in your folder, you can begin to look at installing some custom packages to create some task management functions such as:

Sass compilation
JS Minification
FTP Uploads
Image Compression
Copying Assets
Error Checking

You can view all avaliable NPM packages here.
