In that case you need to go to the directory "/Users/kotulka/Desktop/trekker/" and run

npm rebuild node-sass

You may have been running an older version that is now conflicting with gulp-sass

Hey Chuck,

You can uninstall packages that you install through npm with command:

npm uninstall <package name>

The documentation for this is located here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/uninstall

hey cole , thanks for the advice although it didn't work. here is what the CLI spit out.

thanks chuck

When you installed it did you use what the video had for the command of "npm install -g foundation-cli"? If so, you should try:

npm uninstall -g foundation-cli

if you also wanted to remove bower and gulp, try using:

npm uninstall -g foundation-cli bower gulp

The "-g" means global, without it the package would be installed locally to a project you are working on.

I also just noticed that you are within the directory of "node_modules", for a local package removal you need to be in the directory that contains "node_modules". In this case that would be "kotulka". However if you did install it globally using "-g" in your command, you can uninstall it globally using the commands I listed that incorporated "-g".

hey man , you rock !! that worked like a charm !!

thanks chuck

Suddenly I'm getting an error. Today I tried to start my project, and I got an error. Then I got a command that said to run npm update foundation-apps cli. So I did, and now when I run foundation-apps watch I just get a command not found error.

I need help too. Thanks a lot firstly to the two who helped uninstall foundation. My problem is that when I install it and want to create a new app... its tells me that it cant download the content because I didnt configure my git app correctly when I installed it therefore my git clone wont respond... or something like that.
