    The cause: You get the fatal error: unable to find local grunt because your project directory lacks a grunt.js file.

    Solution:

    To solve this kind of error, you can use grunt:init to access options like jQuery, node, commonjs. Choose what you desire, then carry on. This is effective.

    It will work if you do it like this:

    1. npm install -g grunt
    2. grunt:init ( you will get following options ):
    jquery: A jQuery plugin
    node: A Node module
    commonjs: A CommonJS module
    gruntplugin: A Grunt plugin
    gruntfile: A Gruntfile (grunt.js)
    3 .grunt init:jquery (if you want to create a jQuery related project.).

    Fix for v1.4:

    1. npm install -g grunt-cli
    2. npm init
    fill all details and it will create a package.json file.
    3. npm install grunt (for grunt dependencies.)

    The new version’s solution updated:

    npm install grunt --save-dev

    Grunt should be installed in node_modules, not globally

    Unable to find local Grunt is likely to mean that Grunt has been installed globally.

    Grunt CLI requires that grunt be installed in your local directory of node_modules, so Grunt can be found within your project.

    This will not work:

    npm install -g grunt

    Instead, do this:

    npm install grunt --save-dev
