gulp: Error 'CLI Gulp version is higher than the local one' is vague

AFAICT this actually means:

Global Gulp version is higher than the local one

And should be reworded accordingly. The problem doesn’t have anything to do with a command line interface version of Gulp (local gulp is also a CLI). Or does ‘CLI’ stand for something else in this case?

@markchagers try these 4 commands in your project folder. I have a feeling you weren’t uninstalling the global gulp or something.

$ npm uninstall -g gulp
$ npm install -g gulp
$ npm uninstall --save-dev gulp
$ npm install --save-dev gulp

That should ensure you’ve wiped out any old versions and installed all the new hotness.

Well excuse me for being misled to think that an issue I have with gulp has anything at all to do with the gulp project. I understand from your reply that it’s an npm issue, I googled very extensively for the solution and couldn’t find anything except the suggestion on this page, and that didn’t work. I may have vented my irritation in the wrong place, for which I apologize, but for someone relatively inexperienced in these matters it’s not immediately obvious.
