Gulp fails about blender

[willemvb]

Have you checked npm -v? It should be greater than v.3.
Also webpack should be installed globally (currently on version 1.13.1).

Does gulp help work? You can check version numbers there as well in the output.

Thanks Willem.

npm -v
3.10.3
I installed webpack, then tried gulp help:

[ html]$ gulp help

/var/www/html/node_modules/blender-gulp/gulpfile.js:16
gulp.task('default', callback => {

Trying to invoke webpack:

[html]$ webpack

/var/www/html/node_modules/blender-gulp/config/webpack.js:8
const context = (context) => process.env.WEBPACK_CONTEXT === context;

Can you check your node version as well with node -v?
It should be 4.4 or higher (I will add this requirement to the readme).
