Install Node.js and NPM: Gulp is built on Node.js, so you need to install Node.js and its package manager (NPM) first. Install Gulp: Once Node.js is installed, you can install Gulp globally using the command npm install -g gulp-cli. Create a Gulp File: The configuration for your tasks is stored in a gulpfile.js. Here, you define tasks like compiling SASS, optimizing images, or inlining CSS. Install Plugins: Depending on your needs, you can install various Gulp plugins. For instance, gulp-inline-css for inlining CSS, or gulp-imagemin for image optimization. Run Gulp Tasks: Finally, you can execute your tasks using the command gulp taskname.
