Failure to run the Gulp task runner and error while running Gulp Command

Question 1

I inside the folder where the project is located through the command:

npm i gulp gulp-sass sass --save-dev

I have installed Gulp, but when I want to run it with this command in vs.code terminal :

gulp

I get an error, I wanted to know what caused the error? On the system node js 14.1.0 & 16.13.0 and npm are already installed

Question 2

The error message hints that gulp is not recognized as a command, I don't think this has anything to do with gulp-sass or sass specifically.

Option 1

Install gulp-cli globally:

npm i -g gulp-cli

glup-cli provides the executable gulp command, which will use the version of gulp is installed in your package. This is the preferred way to run gulp.

Option 2

Run gulp directly from your node_modules/.bin folder with the npx command. npx is set up by npm, so there is no need to install any additional packages.

npx gulp

or, equivalently

npm exec gulp

Thanks for your reply, it was executed with the second option command
My question is why, despite the fact that the Node JS and Gulp ( install in local modules folder ) packages are installed, why the ` gulp ` command is not executed ???
Well, installing a local package is typically not enough to make a command executable. npm can resolve automatically commands inside the scripts of a package.json file, but to make those commands executable from the console, it takes an additional layer. That is why we have global packages like gulp-cli, @vue/cli, @angular/cli, etc.
