Grunt stopped working all of a sudden

Tried running Grunt build and Grunt watch on my project yesterday and I ran into the follow error:

Fatal Error: Unable to find local grunt.

I made sure the files weren't deleted. I tried reinstalling Node and Grunt. Files are there and reinstalling didn't work. I've included the debug file for reference. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

0 info it worked if it ends with ok

You need to install grunt locally with your project (install without -g). This is not the same as grunt-cli which is the grunt command on your command line.

Run npm install inside your project folder if you have a package.json file there.
