Laravel Spark app.js not installing

Hi,

I bought Laravel Spark yesterday, I have just came to set it up, I have got it working but the gulp app.js is not there. Gulp keeps throwing this error:

 gulp-notify: [Error running notifier] Could not send message:
(notify-send:16761): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Have you installed gulp globally?

That dang Google shows that error and answers state to install gulp globally like node js should be.

Npm install -g gulp

@jekinney I done that, and it still does not work.
