1 node -v
By default, Laravel Homestead includes everything you need; however, if you aren’t using Vagrant,
then you can easily install Node by visiting their download page¹⁴⁰.
Gulp
Next, you’ll want to pull in Gulp¹⁴¹ as a global NPM package:
.
1 npm install --global gulp
Laravel Elixir
The only remaining step is to install Elixir! Within a fresh installation of Laravel, you’ll find a
package.json file in the root. Think of this like your composer.json file, except it defines Node
dependencies instead of PHP. You may install the dependencies it references by running:
.
1 npm install
If you are developing on a Windows system, you may need to run the npm install command with
the --no-bin-links switch enabled:
.
1 npm install --no-bin-links
Running Elixir
Elixir is built on top of Gulp¹⁴², so to run your Elixir tasks you only need to run the gulp command
in your terminal. Adding the --production flag to the command will instruct Elixir to minify your
CSS and JavaScript files:
