Like most of these modules, you can use it without installing it globally: Just use an NPM task. My `package.json`: { "name": "hi there", "version": "0.0.1", "scripts": { "gulp": "gulp build --require coffee-script", }, "devDependencies": { "coffee-script": "~1.6.3", "gulp": "~3.2.2", } } And then happily run `npm run gulp`. Solves 98% of my problems since I have at most 3 tasks that I want to execute individually.
