I've tried removing package-lock.json and re-running npm install from scratch, which succeeds...

But the resulting build gives this error when served with prism 1.15 (the original package-lock.json had 1.9):

Also having this problem, have tried literally everything but with no luck. Old StackEdit install guides mention using bower during setup, but that's probably not related?

I'm running npm v6.4.1, node v10.13.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.

does npm install gulp and/or npm install prism help?

[ChrisLahaye]

@b4r I can confirm this fixed the problem for me.

[halldorel]

Using node version v10.12.0 did it for me.

[b4r]

@ChrisLahaye nice that it worked - @halldorel interesting the version difference made it work for you. I can confirm it should work on newer installs as v11.3.0

[cpboyd]

No longer having this issue with v11.9.0 on macOS.

[Tyguy7]

Installing gulp manually fixed this for me.

This worked for me.
