OK - so it seems its now installed but i can't run it from terminal using just 'grunt'. I just 'npm install' in my projects and it ran grunt dev after and worked.

But when i try 'grunt dev' i still get '-bash: grunt: command not found'

this is what i got when i ran npm install - 

macbook-ret:wonkhe-roots-master jynk$ nam install

Because grunt is only installed locally. If you want to use the grunt command from anywhere on your system, run: npm i -g grunt-cli

i have about 20 times! Tried with sudo too...

Arkni commented 8 years ago

Can you provide the output ?

v3nt commented 8 years ago

on a different machine but will try agin next week...

vladikoff commented 8 years ago

sounds like an issue with your script or npm.

v3nt commented 8 years ago

no it wasn't — it wasn't linked after install for some reason...
