Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.<\/p>\n

If you’re seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn’t found or grunt
\nhasn’t been installed locally to your project. For more information about
\ninstalling and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:<\/p>\n

Solution<\/p>\n

The command line tools are not included with the latest version of Grunt (0.4 at time of writing) instead you need to install them separately.<\/p>\n

This is a good idea because it means you can have different versions of Grunt running on different projects but still use the nice concise grunt command to run them.<\/p>\n

So first install the grunt cli tools globally:<\/p>\n

npm install -g grunt-cli<\/p>\n

(or possibly sudo npm install -g grunt-cli ).<\/p>\n

You can establish that’s working by typing grunt –version<\/p>\n

Now you can install the current version of Grunt local to your project. So from your project’s location…<\/p>\n

npm install grunt –save-dev<\/p>\n

The save-dev switch isn’t strictly necessary but is a good idea because it will mark grunt in its package.json devDependencies section as a development only module.<\/p>\n

\nSeems like node is older version so need to user latest…
\nHow to upgrade nodes in Ubantu
\nInstall the dependencies:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install g++ curl libssl-dev apache2-utils
\nsudo apt-get install git-core<\/p>\n

Run the following commands:<\/p>\n

git clone git:\/\/github.com\/ry\/node.git
\ncd node
\n.\/configure
\nmake
\nsudo make install<\/p>\n

How to install grunt
\nHere’s what I did to fix this:<\/p>\n

Uninstalled grunt globally:<\/p>\n

npm uninstall -g grunt<\/p>\n

Installed grunt-cli globally:<\/p>\n

npm install -g grunt-cli<\/p>\n

Then, in project root dir:<\/p>\n

npm install<\/p>\n

And all is good. Hope this works for anyone else running into this.

\nFrom in stacekoverlfow..<\/p>\n

Don’t download npm from aptitude or apt-get. Instead try:<\/p>\n

git clone git:\/\/github.com\/isaacs\/npm.git
\ncd npm\/scripts
\nchmod +x install.sh
\nsudo .\/install.sh<\/p>\n

saw it here: NPM can’t install appjs. Error: Cannot find module ‘graceful-fs’<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

sudo npm install<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get remove npm
\nsudo apt-get install npm
