POGrunt install error/s: "should be installed with -g"

Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to install Grunt on my machine. I have read some <a href="http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2013/10/29/get-up-running-grunt/" rel="nofollow">tutorials</a> and followed the <a href="http://gruntjs.com/getting-started" rel="nofollow">installation docs</a>, but I can't get it working.</p> <p>The CLI installs ok using this command:</p> <pre><code>sudo npm install -g grunt-cli </code></pre> <p>When I select a local directory (containing the package.json and Gruntfile) and <code>npm install</code>, I see the following message:</p> <pre><code>npm WARN prefer global grunt-cli@0.1.9 should be installed with -g </code></pre> <p>Why is this happening? I did install with <code>-g</code> - meaning 'globally', I understand.</p> <p>After this, it seems that I cannot run grunt, eg:</p> <pre><code>$ grunt -bash: grunt: command not found $ grunt --version -bash: grunt: command not found </code></pre> <p>How can I fix this? What am I missing?</p> <p>Here is my full log:</p> <pre><code>$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli Password: npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/grunt-cli npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nopt npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/findup-sync npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/resolve npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nopt npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/findup-sync npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/resolve npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nopt npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/findup-sync npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/resolve npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/abbrev npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/glob npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/abbrev npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/glob npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/abbrev npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/glob npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/lodash npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/minimatch npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/graceful-fs npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/inherits npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/minimatch npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/graceful-fs npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/inherits npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/minimatch npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/graceful-fs npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/inherits npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/lru-cache npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sigmund npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/lru-cache npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sigmund npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/lru-cache npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sigmund /Users/tonyMac/.node/bin/grunt -> /Users/tonyMac/.node/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt grunt-cli@0.1.10 /Users/tonyMac/.node/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli ├── resolve@0.3.1 ├── nopt@1.0.10 (abbrev@1.0.4) └── findup-sync@0.1.2 (lodash@1.0.1, glob@3.1.21) Tonys-iMac:~ tonyMac$ cd projects/testingGrunt Tonys-iMac:testingGrunt tonyMac$ npm install npm WARN prefer global grunt-cli@0.1.9 should be installed with -g </code></pre>
