Generator fails on yo torso-brec with "Error: spawn gulp ENOENT"

[blakejwc]

I was trying to build the yo generator, but can't tell from the error what is happening. Node: v0.12.7 NPM: 2.13.3 Yo: 1.4.7

OS: Ubuntu 12

Here is the console output:

What operating system was this run on?

[blakejwc]

Ubuntu 12

Update: (also, now on Ubuntu 14)

I did a global install of gulp:

$ npm install --global gulp

and that solved the immediate problem, but not the issue with the vague error.

Should I close this issue and open a new one for error handling being less than desirable? Or, is it possible to make it so global gulp isn't necessary for running this generator... is that possible?
