Cannot gcloud app deploy

[halsafar]

Using Ubuntu 16.04. Installed google cloud sdk and node js via ppa, followed copy-paste instructions from the respective sites.

I can run gulp no problem from the project directory and test the project.

Whenever I try to gcloud app deploy I get this:

sh: 1: gulp: not found
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! gae-init@ install: `gulp init`
npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Failed at the gae-init@ install script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
npm WARN Local package.json exists, but node_modules missing, did you mean to install?

One funny thing I notice is the log it appears to dump is in /root. No such log exists whether I run with sudo or not. I am not normally running as this as root.
