Gulp command not found after install

Question

I installed gulp(globally) and it looks like it worked because it ran this code:

├── tildify@0.2.0
├── interpret@0.3.5
├── pretty-hrtime@0.2.1
├── deprecated@0.0         


        

Answer 1

If you're using tcsh (which is my default shell on Mac OS X), you probably just need to type rehash into the shell just after the install completes:

npm install -g gulp

followed immediately by:

rehash

Otherwise, if this is your very first time installing gulp, your shell may not recognize that there's a new executable installed -- so you either need to start a new shell, or type rehash in the current shell.

(This is basically a one-time thing for each command you install globally.)
