Cannot upload files higher than 5 MB error

For the question "Local Code Challenge: In this challenge, you'll start building out the Issue Tracker API by adding the Web API framework to the provided, empty ASP.NET project." of building our service of ASP.NET Web API I could not upload the solution. The compiled project size around 48 MB but treehouse will not let me upload files higher than 5 MB. How did others overcome this problem?

The test have passed successfully the problem is with the gulp file. I have installed gulp from the nuget and tried running the gulp task from the task runner and I get the following error

You have to use Gulp task runner. It will run the project.msbuild file in the file directory and generate a project.zip file for you. Then you need to upload that zip file. You might need to install node.js, npm at your machine. In your command line tool, run npm install gulp-cli -g Then goes to the Issue Tracker project directory, such as ......./src/IssueTracker Run gulp default
