grunt js not working in windows

I am first time user of grunt on windows and using grunt 0.3 version. I installed nodejs, npm and then installed grunt 0.3 using -> 

 npm install -g [email protected] --save-dev

When tried grunt build in windows it was giving error Microsoft jquery runtime error, Object expected.

Then I found out that in windows grunt build doesn't work and so I used grunt.cmd. It looks lil better as I dont get the jquery exception but now I get following errors and still unable to build - 

path.existsSync is now called `fs.existsSync`.
>> Npm module "grunt-css" not found. Is it installed?
>> Npm module "grunt-jasmine-runner" not found. Is it installed?
>> Npm module "grunt-contrib-copy" not found. Is it installed?
>> Npm module "grunt-dustjs" not found. Is it installed?
>> Npm module "grunt-contrib-less" not found. Is it installed?

Running "docs:dist" (docs) task
python ./libs/atnotate/atnotate.py -s ./src/ -d ./docs/ -t ./libs/atnotate/templates
<WARN> Task "dustjs" not found. Use --force to continue. </WARN>

Aborted due to warnings.

Will really appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks

Update after Kevin's solution, I have all files but still it doesn't find the grunt-css - 

 ls -l /usr/local/lib/node_modules/

The error suggests that your Gruntfile.js might be referencing grunt modules that are not yet installed in this project.

If these dependencies are defined in package.json, you should only need to npm install

If they are not defined in package.json, you may need to manually install these modules and save them to your development dependencies.

npm install --save-dev grunt-css grunt-jasmine-runner grunt-contrib-copy grunt-dustjs grunt-contrib-less
