Need clearer instructions around modifying themes/CSS

[Frijol]

I don't use gulp much, but haven't figured out how to use it as per the Readme instructions here.

I tried running it as shown in the readme, got:

path.js:7
    throw new TypeError('Path must be a string. Received ' + inspect(path));
    ^

TypeError: Path must be a string. Received null

    at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:123:15)

ran a npm i -g gulp because my gulp is probably really out of date, tried again and got

[10:46:23] Local gulp not found in ~/tesselwww/themes
[10:46:23] Try running: npm install gulp

so I ran npm i gulp as suggested, tried again with the gulp watch and got

[10:47:10] No gulpfile found

What am I missing?

Apparently I can't tell the difference between gulp and grunt :)

Can you re-run the instructions in the README now? grunt should work, and I've corrected the path to the themes folder.

Ah, much better.

Well, except the error:

➜  tessel git:(master) grunt watch
Loading "Gruntfile.js" tasks...ERROR
>> SyntaxError: Unexpected token )
Warning: Task "watch" not found. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

@Frijol You're in this folder? https://github.com/tessel/tesselwww/tree/master/themes/tessel

Can you try destroying your node_modules/ folder and re-running npm i? And then make sure the Gruntfile.js is the same as in on Github?

all checked, same error.
