JavaScript Gulp Basics Welcome to Gulp.js Your First Gulp Task

Gulp not running in my console

I am currently starting gulp basics course but, as usual, I can't get my code to run like the example in the videos. Whenever I use "gulp hello" it doesn't do anything in the console view. Instead, it just returns me to my gulp.js file in my text editor. I am using Brackets text editor and a Windows computer. Is this a common problem or am I missing something?

Hi Jeremy I am getting the same issue did you finally solve this, and if so how? I have looked through the other questions there is none that offers a solution. Cheers. I am now tempted to just proceed with the videos.

To be sure that you have gulp installed, you can try which gulp command in the terminal. Then to use simply gulp hello you need to rename gulp.js into gulpfile.js. If that doesn't help, it would be helpful if you provided any output you get in the terminal with some more details.
