Local gulp not found (Try running: npm install gulp)

Question

I created a module (webapp-module-storage) which has the following definitions:

package.json

{
  \"dependencies\": {
    ..         


        

Answer 1

npm link gulp --no-bin-links
Run this

where npm link gulp creates a local link to globally installed gulp module and --no-bin-links argument will prevent npm from creating symlinks for any binaries the package might contain.

You can't translate symlinks to a synchronized folder on Windows share, so you will need '--no-bin-links' to go around it.

Use it for any filesystem that doesn’t support symbolic links.

Symlinks, or symbolic links, are “virtual” files or folders which reference a physical file or folder located elsewhere, and are an important feature built in to many operating systems, including Linux and Windows.
