Version

2.5.0

Recommendation

For users, you can force a resolution in your package.json to del@6.1. For maintainers, I suggest specifying 6.1 in the package.json (over *) or completing an overhaul of the gulp file to ESM (https://gulpjs.com/docs/en/getting-started/javascript-and-gulpfiles/#transpilation).

I had the same problem, thanks @mcrawshaw.

To get past this, I did:

git clone git@github.com:Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI.git
cd Semantic-UI
npm i --save-dev del@6.1
gulp install

I'm having the same issue. Why do we need to do a gulp install? I'm just looking for the lib here.

[mcrawshaw]

Not sure about @sepastian setup. Generally, you are just looking to force the resolution of the del package (general steps are different for yarn vs npm - check online).
