Can't install gulp on windows 10

Question

I'm busy learning Laravel and in the process trying to install gulp.

Operating system: Windows 10

In the command line: npm -v gives: 2.15.2 node -v gives: v4.4.5

Then I tried all kinds of ways I found on the internet to install gulp, all give me a cursor that keeps rotating and nothing happens.

What I tried:

npm install -g gulp

npm install gulp -g

npm install --global gulp-cli

I also tried: npm config set proxy false npm cache clean

That didn't help.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

This also worked for me too:

npm install gulp -g -verbose

add --verbose for another package if you need to, and if it's still not working, maybe you must install package to global first by adding -g , and after that, install in your project folder.

Answer 2

For my case, this is worked for me.
installed gulp globally : npm install gulp -g and I had to add npm installation directory.

C:\\Users\\{USER}\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm;

To my system path in my environment variables

Answer 3

最后！！！，这奏效了： npm install gulp -g -verbose
