Laravel 5.4 mix npm run dev error - laravel

Question

So I have a laravel 5.4 project and when I run npm install dev I get the following error
dev: node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js`
This is my package.json
{
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"dev": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"watch": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"watch-poll": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --watch --watch-poll --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"hot": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
"production": "node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
},
"devDependencies": {
"axios": "^0.15.3",
"bootstrap-sass": "^3.3.7",
"jquery": "^3.1.1",

"lodash": "^4.17.4",
"react": "^15.4.2",
"react-dom": "^15.4.2",
"vue": "^2.1.10"
}
}
Why I get this error ?

Answer 1

run this command :
npm install --global cross-env
and also add "gulp": "^3.9.1" in your package.josn under "devDependencies"
This may help you

I have the same problem and y fix it replacing my package.json with this
{
"private": true,
"scripts": {

"watch-poll": "npm run watch -- --watch-poll",

}
after, i make this things :
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json yarn.lock
npm cache clear --force
npm install
npm run dev
I hope this can help you.

Answer 3

Because you are trying to install dependencies.
To install devDependencies you could do
npm install --only=dev
To run dev you do
npm run dev
