gulp command not found - error after installing gulp

You forgot to install the gulp-cli package:

npm install -g gulp-cli

Then you can run the command "gulp" from the command line.

windows node.js gulp

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:

Add Node path to environmental 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.

windows node.js gulp

Be sure that you have gulp and gulp.cmd (use windows search)
Copy the path of gulp.cmd (C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\npm)
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.
