Answer 1

I found a solution.

Here are the steps:

1. Remove nodejs and all npm's.
2. Install node
3. npm install
4. npm install -g bower
5. bower install
6. grunt serve

Success

Answer 2

um... run:

$ grunt -v

this will give you the missing (corrupted) node_modules. Sometimes things get corrupted or such.

I ran into this same problem with grunt-google-cdn and reinstalled it. with $ npm install grunt-google-cdn --save and everything went fine after that :)

reinstalling everything is generally not required.
