I installed grunt globally by running the following commands
npm install grunt grunt-cli -g
And I also installed grunt and other project dependencies locally to my project by running
npm install
npm install grunt --save-dev
But grunt keeps telling me "Unable to find local grunt"
I'm Using ubuntu 16.04 on DigitalOcean and I have nodejs and npm installed
what is the problem?

I am cloning the Symfony project form git repository. Project is using webpack encore.
git clone
composer install
npm install
but this produce error in node-sass
Try to rebuild if npm package creates error
npm rebuild node-sass
the problem was solved by running npm install by host machine, because composer install was running also in host machine
When I try to run
$ grunt
it showing this error
Fatal error: unable to find local grunt
I have installed grunt in my project by using this command
npm install -g grunt-cli
can any one tell me what I have done wrong?
Try to use sudo as sometimes it is just because of access-permission issues. Also check if you are running the command in your project's root directory.
so try
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
it might also be a good idea to update your update existing npm before installing grunt-cli by running
npm update -g npm
I've installed grunt :
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v4.3.0/bin/grunt -> /Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v4.3.0/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt
/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v4.3.0/lib
└── grunt-cli#1.2.0
But when i run grunt i have errors:
grunt
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface (v1.2.0)
Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.
If you're seeing this message, grunt hasn't been installed locally to
your project. For more information about installing and configuring grunt,

Where i am wrong please ?
you have to install grunt globally and locally
you have installed the cli globally with the -g flag
now you have to install it locally in your package.json with ...
npm install -SD grunt
then your "grunt" command will work - assuming you have a valid gruntfile
This looks like a duplicate of Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.
In a nutshell, try running grunt:init or npm:init first (depending on the version you have. See linked question for more details.
install the command-line interface:
npm install -g grunt-cli
install the local task runner:
cd [my project root]
npm install grunt --save-dev
define your Gruntfile.js as per http://gruntjs.com/getting-started#the-gruntfile
run the tasks with: grunt
I am trying to install Grunt locally and after typing the following:
npm install grunt-cli --save-dev
I get the following errors:
Do I need to change some network settings?
I cannot get grunt to work at all on Windows 7. Following the instructions on the Grunt website (http://gruntjs.com/getting-started) I've run:
npm uninstall -g grunt-cli
npm uninstall grunt
npm uninstall -g grunt-init
git clone git#github.com:gruntjs/grunt-init-jquery.git c:/Users/me/.grunt-init/jquery
npm install -g grunt-cli
grunt-init jquery
npm install .
After that, running "grunt" produces the following output:
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.9)
Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.
If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about

Running "npm install grunt" in the current directory gives the same error when running grunt.
Any thoughts? My understanding is that grunt-cli is meant to look for a local grunt install, but I can't work out why it can't find it.
I know its been 2 years since this question was asked. However if someone wants in future:
I got the exact same issue. And I got this fixed by installing grunt locally. As per grunt site,
Note that installing grunt-cli does not install the Grunt task runner!
The job of the Grunt CLI is simple: run the version of Grunt which has
been installed next to a Gruntfile. This allows multiple versions of
Grunt to be installed on the same machine simultaneously.
So I just got it working by installing Grunt locally.
npm install grunt --save-dev
--save : adds it to your package.json.
-dev: adds it as a dev dependency.
There must be a Gruntfile.js located in the directory you run the command from. Also double check that 'npm install grunt' actually gave you a node_modules directory with a sub directory called grunt.
You should install grunt in GUI mode.
Open node.js cmd prompt then open the root folder and run the below commands
npm install ( once it done you can able to see node_modules folder in the root folder)
npm install –g grunt-cli (change the version from ("version": "minified" to Current release("version":"1.11"); you should replace with minified once you run build)
grunt build:full
Note: Version has to change when running grunt very first time.
if the above answer do not works then you can try by using this
rm -rf node_modules/ && npm cache clean && npm install
