'http-server' or 'gulp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

If you're seeing this message even after you globally installed gulp/http-server you might want to try this.. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24027551/gulp-command-not-found-error-after-installing-gulp

Hi, I've been troubleshooting this on and off for two weeks now. I have problems running Gulp, React, Babel, etc. from Git Bash. When I edit the System environment variable PATH, would this replace the current line or just be added to it?

For example, my current System environment variable PATH looks like this: C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local\node_modules\;%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm;%APPDATA%\npm

Do I replace that whole line or just add a semicolon and %APPDATA%\npm

Usually npm is already editing the variable PATH, that's odd...
