can't install blog starter project

[AntonEmery]

Hi, I'm new Gatsby, trying get it setup so i can rebuild my portfolio site. I'm going through the Getting Started steps. I installed the CLI no problem but then when I run gatsby new gatsby-site I am getting a bunch of errors.
UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY react@>=15.0.0 and several errors saying eslint-config-fbjs@1.1.1 requires peers that were not installed. I am on OSX and have the latest version of Node.

I added react to my dependencies but still no luck running gatsby develop Thanks, let me know if i can provide more information

What happens when you run gatsby develop?

[AntonEmery]

There was a problem loading the local develop command. Gatsby may not be installed.
Error: Cannot find module 'gatsby/dist/commands/develop'

[KyleAMathews]

Can you try updating to the latest version of gatsby-cli and try creating a new site?

[AntonEmery]

Sure thing. I updated the gatsby-cli and ran gatsby new gatsby-site This is what I got.

Thanks!

Need to update the local gatsby as well, maybe we should have had a fallback for the older locations

[KyleAMathews]

I reverted the CLI changes for now so this issue should be fixed #1903

Hi guys,

This whole gatsby project is so cool! I´ve been avay from coding since LAMP stack days, but this whole javascript movement makes me want to get back into coding again. I would love to meet Kyle and see if I can help. Then a small bug probably or something with my setup:

I tried installing gatsby on my MAC OS Sierra, v10.12
I do get the standard install & gatsby new "my-name-of-test-site" to work,
and the gatsby develop command works inside of that testsite. So all good.
But when I try to test the "gatsby new my-project https://github.com/saschajullmann/gatsby-starter-gatsbythemes" the gatsby develop command inside the "my-project" directory give this output: "error There was a problem loading the local develop command. Gatsby may not be installed."

[KyleAMathews]

Do other starters fail in similar ways?

Hello @KyleAMathews, same for me here:

[KyleAMathews]

Could you try upgrading gatsby-cli to the latest?

[gbailey4]

It works for me upon upgrading!

[amouratoglou]

worked for me ! before , I didn't get any error message, but the localhost sever didn't work.

➜  app npm update gatsby-cli 
➜  app gatsby develop  

[abhinavjonnada82]

All this can be solved........... By two simple steps actually three:
1.) Open GIT BASH
2.) Type the command: gatsby new gatsby-site https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-xxxxxx
3.) And from your TERMINAL type gatsby develop

[boryskuczkowski]

Same problem here
$ gatsby develop
error There was a problem loading the local develop command. Gatsby may not be installed. Perhaps you need to run "npm install"?

any ideas?

Latest gatsby-cli installed (actually tried it three times I think), still no luck.

[webbson]

I have the same problem as well, tried reinstall a couple of times without any luck.

[dsteinel]

Even though the gatsby-cli was installed globally (the command gatsby was also available globally and gave me some options), I ran into the very same issue:
error There was a problem loading the local develop command. Gatsby may not be installed. Perhaps you need to run "npm install"?

So here is what I did to resolve it:

• npm uninstall gatsby-cli
• npm install --global gatsby-cli
• gatsby new gatsby-site
• gatsby develop

🎉

[webbson]

For me the only solution that worked was to install it via yarn instead of npm.

[yodacom]

yes Yarn seems to help!

[GraemeFulton]

I had the same problem and spotted this when running npm install --global gatsby-cli for the second time (after following @dsteinel's comments):

error serve@6.5.8: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version ">=7.6.0". error Found incompatible module info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install for documentation about this command. error Command failed: yarnpkg

After upgrading node to 7.6.0, gatsby develop worked for me
