Missing script: gulp error on Windows_NT 6.2.9200

Question

I need to run gulp in windows 8 with this command:

npm run gulp

But I see the following error in cmd and npm-debug.log after attempting to run that command:

0 info it worked if it ends with ok

10 error missing script: gulp
11 error If you need help, you may report this error at:
11 error     <https://github.com/npm/npm/issues>
12 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

EDIT:

gulpfile:

var gulp = require('gulp');

var requireDir = require('require-dir');
requireDir('./gulp-tasks');

gulp.task('default', ['sass', 'templatecache']);

How do I fix this problem and run gulp without error in my environment?

Can you share the code in your package.json file?

You do not have a gulp script defined in your package.json. Any command line command prefixed with npm run should be defined in the scripts section of the package.json. From the documentation:

This runs an arbitrary command from a package's "scripts" object.

You can either define a gulp script or you can run gulp from the command line:

gulp

From the getting started guide:

1. Install gulp globally:

$ npm install --global gulp

2. Install gulp in your project devDependencies:

$ npm install --save-dev gulp

3. Create a gulpfile.js at the root of your project:

var gulp = require('gulp');

gulp.task('default', function() {
  // place code for your default task here
});

4. Run gulp:

$ gulp
