Answer 1

I've recently run into the "Local gulp not found" error message. I was able to work past it by creating a symlink from the global node_modules directory to the local project directory where my gulpfile.js is located.

Answer 2

Check /home/username/.npm directory: maybe groups/owner of files is root. Change to username:

chown -R username.username /home/username/.npm

Answer 3

I faced the same issue. Got it resolved by creating a link

npm link gulp

Answer 4

As pointed out in the doc, you should install it globally (you did that) and add it to your project dev deps (locally):

npm install gulp --save-dev
