Node package ( Grunt ) installed but not available
build, node.js, npm, package
Solution
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.
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.
So first install the grunt cli tools globally:
npm install -g grunt-cli
(or possibly `sudo npm install -g grunt-cli` ).
You can establish that's working by typing `grunt --version`
Now you can install the current version of Grunt local to your project. So from your project's location...
npm install grunt --save-dev
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.
Problem
I'm trying to build a github jquery-ui library using `grunt`, but after running `npm install` I still can't run the command according to the readme file. It just gives `No command 'grunt' found`: ``` james@ubuntu:~/Documents/projects/ad2/lib/jquery-ui$ grunt build No command 'grunt' found, did you mean: Command 'grun' from package 'grun' (universe) grunt: command not found james@ubuntu:~/Documents/projects/ad2/lib/jquery-ui$ npm ls jquery-ui@1.9.0pre /home/james/Documents/projects/ad2/lib/jquery-ui ├─┬ grunt@0.3.9 │ ├── async@0.1.18 │ ├── colors@0.6.0-1 │ ├─┬ connect@1.8.7 │ │ ├── formidable@1.0.9 │ │ ├── mime@1.2.5 │ │ └── qs@0.5.0 │ ├── dateformat@1.0.2-1.2.3 │ ├─┬ glob-whatev@0.1.6 │ │ └─┬ minimatch@0.2.4 │ │ └── lru-cache@1.0.6 │ ├─┬ gzip-js@0.3.1 │ │ ├── crc32@0.2.2 │ │ └── deflate-js@0.2.2 │ ├── hooker@0.2.3 │ ├─┬ jshint@0.5.9 │ │ ├── argsparser@0.0.6 │ │ └─┬ minimatch@0.2.4 │ │ └── lru-cache@1.0.6 │ ├─┬ nodeunit@0.6.4 │ │ ├── tap-assert@0.0.10 │ │ └─┬ tap-producer@0.0.1 │ │ ├── inherits@1.0.0 │ │ ├── tap-results@0.0.2 │ │ └── yamlish@0.0.5 │ ├─┬ nopt@1.0.10 │ │ └── abbrev@1.0.3 │ ├─┬ prompt@0.1.12 │ │ ├── pkginfo@0.2.3 │ │ └─┬ winston@0.5.11 │ │ ├── eyes@0.1.7 │ │ ├─┬ loggly@0.3.11 │ │ │ └── timespan@2.2.0 │ │ └── stack-trace@0.0.6 │ ├── semver@1.0.13 │ ├─┬ temporary@0.0.2 │ │ └── package@1.0.0 │ ├── uglify-js@1.0.7 │ ├── underscore@1.2.4 │ └── underscore.string@2.1.1 ├── grunt-compare-size@0.1.4 ├─┬ grunt-css@0.2.0 │ ├── csslint@0.9.8 │ └── sqwish@0.2.0 ├── grunt-html@0.1.1 ├── request@2.9.153 ├─┬ rimraf@2.0.1 │ └── graceful-fs@1.1.8 └─┬ testswarm@0.2.2 └── request@2.9.202 ``` I'm confused, what am I missing please?
