Expected Behavior

Am expecting the following gulpfile.js additions to permit gulp to minify - per instructinos at http://zetcode.com/gulp/minify/

var minify = require("gulp-minify"); var Paths = { JS_SOURCES: './assets/js/material-dashboard.js' }; gulp.task('minify', () => { return gulp.src(Paths.JS_SOURCES, { allowEmpty: true }) .pipe(minify({noSource: true})) .pipe(gulp.dest('./assets/js/')) });

Current Behavior

gulp minify internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:796 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-minify' Require stack:

Context

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21406738/cant-get-gulp-to-run-cannot-find-module-gulp-util - these instructions suggest that I remove node_modules with the following commands but this seems too drastic.

rm -rf node_modules/ npm install
