In order to be able to run gulp you need to install the gulp command line interface globally like so: npm install -g gulp-cli . Afterwards you need to add a gulpfile.js where you would configure your builds/tasks. For more information check out the official "Getting started" guide and the docs on gulp: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md
