Gulp version 4 or greater (See Installation) if you have version 3.

Installation

This requires Gulp version 4 or greater. Gulp version 3 bundled the command line interface (CLI) with the library and now the CLI is a standalone package.

Open your terminal program and check your Gulp version to see if you have version 3.

$ gulp -v
[11:44:10] CLI version 2.0.1
[11:44:10] Local version 3.9.1

If you have previously installed Gulp version 3 globally (with -g flag), remove it.

npm uninstall -g gulp

Install the new standalone Gulp CLI globally.

npm install -g gulp-cli

In your terminal, navigate to your desired directory and clone this repository using git.

git clone https://github.com/begroff/random-quote-generator.git

Navigate to the random-quote-generator directory.

cd random-quote-generator

Run npm install to install dependencies.

npm install

After the dependencies are installed, run gulp. This will run the tasks for the build, start browser sync and watch html, css, and javascript files for changes.
