Hi all,
So I'm trying to use Gulp at work to speed up development and do menial tasks for me (like inline CSS for emails), but I'm running into some issues.
I have a local machine that I work on, but the files that I work on are on another machine on our local network. Now, I've gotten Gulp and the couple packages that I would need for my day-to-day work by installing them locally on the other machine's directory where I'm working, but I'm looking for a better solution since the packages I use are about 50mb and I work on several projects a week, which would be a waste of space.
I found that you can npm link [package name] so you can just use globally-installed packages, but when I run npm list -g, it shows only the global packages on my local machine. The other machine is a server, so I'm not sure if I can install Gulp on it (there's no Users directory, FWIW). When I run npm install -g, it installs packages on my local machine even if I open the CMD window in a folder on the server.
Does anyone have any advice or help? Maybe Huston Hedinger?
Thanks in advance! :)
