I have just installed homestead locally with my project and the vm is up and running. When I run gulp its telling me the laravel dependancies are not installed
I run 'npm instal'l and I get the following error. (sudo doesn't help). It also looks like the laravel-elixir and bootstrap-sass folders are empty in the project folder.
What should I do next?

As far as I can tell there is no easy fix but I normally get to work by repeatedly installing until it works.
Run npm cache clear before npm install in case a package that node cached after downloading is corrupted.
It's taken me over 10 attempts to work before.
I also had an issue once where a npm was just creating a load of empty directories so in this case maybe delete the /home/vagrant/proactive/node_modules/laravel-elixir/node_modules/watchify/ folder manually
I moved my project folder to c:\Code\ and Homestead into the root of my home drive (windows) and it seems to be working. Long folder/file path names was the problem
'sudo' or 'sudo bash'
npm install --global gulp
npm install --no-bin-links
added : var gulp = require('gulp'); to gulpfile.js
