'Gulp' not found after installation?

Ive forked a repo and run npm install. I can see gulp is installed in the node_modules folder. However when I run gulp or gulp -v on the command line it says command not found.

If I open a new terminal in a different folder (which is outside of the repo eg my home folder) and run gulp -v I can see the version:

CLI version 3.9.0

So it seems gulp is installed both locally and globally but its still not working. I have gulp working find on another project that I previously set up.

This is a similar question but the solution posed does not work: no command 'gulp' found - after installation

After completely deleting and re-cloning the repo its now working. Im not sure why but I did add this line:

PATH="$HOME/.npm/bin:$PATH"

To my bash profile:

~/.bash_profile PATH="$HOME/.npm/bin:$PATH"

And then on the command line ran: 

npm config set prefix $HOME/.npm

This allows me to run npm install without sudo and so may or may not have fixed it.

You need to install gulp globally, most probably using sudo

sudo npm install -g gulp

this will ensure the command is available to you as you want
