Can't install Gulp on node 8.12.0

Question

When I try the sudo npm install --save-dev gulp command, it returns this error:

npm WARN deprecated gulp-util@3.0.8: gulp-util is deprecated - replace it, following the guidelines at https://medium.com/gulpjs/gulp-util-ca3b1f9f9ac5
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@3.0.11: please upgrade to graceful-fs 4 for compatibility with current and future versions of Node.js

I've reinstalled gulp (multiple times) and node (& npm) and it still won't work. What do I do? (I'm using macOS 10.13.6 and I installed node via homebrew)

Answer 1

Why are you trying to install with --save-dev ? Installing Gulp globally should be done with --global

Have you checked their installation guide? https://gulpjs.org/getting-started.html
