My gulp clean task throwing me an error

Hi,

I have a problem when i run the gulp clean task.

treehouse-gulp-basics hugo$ gulp clean
module.js:557
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-sourcemaps'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:555:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:482:25)
    at Module.require (module.js:604:17)
    at require (internal/module.js:11:18)

    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:513:12)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:505:3)

This is what my js file looks like:

"use strict";

var gulp = require('gulp'),
  concat = require('gulp-concat'),
  uglify = require('gulp-uglify'),
  rename = require('gulp-rename'),
    sass = require('gulp-sass'),
    maps = require('gulp-sourcemaps'),
     del = require('del');

gulp.task("concatScripts", function() {
    return gulp.src([
        'js/jquery.js',
        'js/sticky/jquery.sticky.js',
        'js/main.js'
        ])
    .pipe(maps.init())
    .pipe(concat('app.js'))
    .pipe(maps.write('./'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('js'));
});

gulp.task("minifyScripts", ["concatScripts"], function() {
  return gulp.src("js/app.js")
    .pipe(uglify())
    .pipe(rename('app.min.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('js'));
});

gulp.task('compileSass', function() {
  return gulp.src("scss/application.scss")
      .pipe(maps.init())
      .pipe(sass())
      .pipe(maps.write('./'))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('css'));
});

gulp.task('watchSass', function() {
  gulp.watch('scss/**/*.scss', ['compileSass']);
});

gulp.task('clean', function() {
    del("dist");
});

gulp.task("build", ['minifyScripts', 'compileSass'], function(){
  return gulp.src(["css/application.css", "js/app.min.js", "index.html",
                    "img/**", "fonts/**"],  { base: "./" })
                    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
});

gulp.task("default", ["build"]);

Any ideas of what is wrong?
