Install and use Grunt in Vagrant and Windows
Written by Bastien Donjon, Posted in Uncategorized
If you have many errors with Grunt in Vagrant and Windows this is probably due to symlinks.
To fix it :
1 – Add this lines in Vagrantfile
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v| v.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/vagrant", "1"] end
2 – Run this command in an admin console on Windows
fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation L2L:1 R2R:1 L2R:1 R2L:1
3 – And start your Vagrant
vagrant up
4 – Install Grunt globally
npm install -g grunt-cli npm install -g grunt --no-bin-links
5 – Go in your project directory and install NPM Packages without errors
npm install --no-bin-links
6 – Use Grunt
grunt --version
