Setting up Gulp with mean.io

I'm pretty new to using the meanstack. I couldn't get mean.js to work. So I'm trying to get mean.io to function properly.

Currently it works fine, when I just run $ node server.

However when I install Gulp and try to run it that way, I get the following error:

C:\Users\markl\Dropbox\Server\FS4>gulp C:\Users\markl\Dropbox\Server\FS4\gulpfile.js:6 var env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'; ^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token var at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16) at Module._compile (module.js:414:25) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:442:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:313:12) at Module.require (module.js:366:17) at require (module.js:385:17) at Liftoff.handleArguments (C:\Users\markl\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\gulp\bin\gulp.js:116:3) at Liftoff. (C:\Users\markl\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\gulp\node_modules\liftoff\index.js:192:16) at module.exports (C:\Users\markl\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\gulp\node_modules\flagged-respawn\index.js:17:3)

Any idea what could be causing this?

It looks like you may have an old version of mean. The line that refers to has been commented out for a while and should probably be removed.

Now the gulpfile essentially redirects to the gulp directory, allowing the project to hold many separate gulp configurations.

What version of MEAN are you using?
