How do I install gulp 4

Question

I\'ve been using gulp-watch. The current version of gulp-watch relies on the call gulp.parrallel. This call is only available from gulp 4.

However gulp 4 is not avai

Answer 1

As of December 28th 2018, the following command should work perfectly fine in installing version 4 locally.

npm i -D gulp

Answer 2

I solved the issue by running:

which gulp

rm -rf /usr/local/bin/gulp

npm i -g gulp

Answer 3

npm install gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0 --save-dev

Answer 4

to install gulp-4, CLI version has to be 1.2.2 which will support gulp 4.0

to install gulp-cli 1.2.2 run sudo npm install gulp-cli@1.2.2 -g

and to install gulp 4.0 run npm install 'gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0' --save-dev

when you run gulp -v command

you should get

[11:38:36] CLI version 1.2.2

[11:38:36] Local version 4.0.0-alpha.2

Answer 5

Gulp has removed the 4.0 branch from their GitHub repository, so the previous way of installing using npm install gulpjs/gulp.git#4.0 --save-dev no longer works.

They state in their README that the correct way to install gulp 4.0 is to run the command:

npm install gulp@next
