Answer 1

I just solve a same issue with yours. why don't you try this? (thats what I did and it solves my problem)

• $sudo rm -rf node_modules
• $npm cache clean
• $npm install (w/o sudo)

(I think the reason is sudo npm install makes root's directory which non root user cannot access, and you run gulp serve as non root user mode.)
