Installer problems. Can't do gulp build in /semantic after installing

[gczh]

Configuration
OS X El Capitan 10.11.1
Node v4.2.3
Npm v2.14.7
SemanticUI v2.1.7 (as per /node_modules/semantic-ui)

Issue
Followed the documentation accordingly using the express install option and did cd semantic after getting the following:

Did a gulp build following the instructions from the installer's output. However what I got was the following:

SOHAPPY at Hey-MacBook-Air in ~/Documents/Projects/Sample/semantic
$ gulp build
[01:05:05] Local gulp not found in ~/Documents/Projects/Sample/semantic
[01:05:05] Try running: npm install gulp

After which I tried to install gulp using npm install gulp --save-dev and ran gulp build in the /semantic directory where the following error greeted me:

$ gulp build
module.js:339
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-help'

What works for me would be to run gulp build in node_modules/semantic-ui/ where I would get the following error:

/Users/Hey/Documents/Projects/Sample/node_modules/semantic-ui/tasks/build/css.js:32
    tasksCompleted++;
    ^

Does anyone have similar issues and ideas on how to go about fixing this? This seems to be an issue with the npm installer.

According to @jlukic the npm version 2 has issue with semantic-ui 2.1.7. May be try using semantic-2.1.6 or use npm version 3. it should work. I hope this help

As per @jluck "Its because peer dependencies were accidentally removed
If you upgrade to npm3 it'll be fixed
alternatively downgrade to 2.1.6 or wait for 2.1.8
im still at my folks place for the holidays"

Just ran into this exact same issue too using [email protected].

A possible work-around would be to npm install [email protected] --save-dev first, and then npm update second.

#3511 for earlier discussion. Back home, fix should be soon after new years.

I met the same problem,I use npm 3.x and os x

[jlukic]

Fixed in 2.1.8, not sure how this could occur with NPM3 would love to replicate if you can give me step by step.

Confirmed for npm2. Thanks!
