npm install grunt-uncss and npm install grunt uncss - npm

pretty new to grunt and just trying to use uncss. Notice their is 2 way to install it with npm:
npm install uncss --save-dev and
npm install grunt-uncss --save-dev.
Besides one using phantom.js is their any difference ?? Pretty confused here.

Those are actually for two different packages:
npm install uncss --save-dev is for the uncss npm package.
npm install grunt-uncss --save-dev is for the grunt plugin for uncss
The difference between the two
One you can use with Grunt.js (grunt-uncss), the other you can't (without writing your own task that calls the module)

What is the difference between the following npm install statements?

npm install #uiw/react-monacoeditor --save
VS
npm i #uiw/react-monacoeditor
What is the difference between following npm install statements when to use --save flag?
Currently they will not differ at all. Since NPM 5 packages are automatically saved into package.json dependencies when installed.
npm I is the short version of npm install so that part of the command does not differ at all either.
You can read more about the install command here: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npm-install
And there is does say “ npm install saves any specified packages into dependencies by default.”

How to uninstall Gulp CLI from NPM globally?

I have the following package installed globally via npm:
+-- gulp-cli#2.0.1 (github:gulpjs/gulp-cli#4782b9a582ce7cc7e009073705a565b57d235332)
I have tried to uninstall it like so...
npm uninstall gulp-cli#2.0.1
But it does not remove it. How can I get this package removed from my global location?
I'm on npm version 6.1.0
Thanks to R. Wanjohi I figured it out for my machine. I had to do the following to get the global version of gulp cli off my machine:
npm rm -g gulp-cli
I was experiencing the same problem but when I used the following code, it worked:
npm rm -g gulp
You need to uninstall it globally (add the -g tag)
npm uninstall -g gulp-cli#2.0.1
Here is the npm docs: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/uninstall.html
it's pretty simple, to uninstall a global package run
npm uninstall -g <package-name>
to verify run
npm ls -g --depth=0

Gulp doesn't work after reinstalling Windows

Upon reinstalling Windows 10 (and Node.js), the gulp command isn't found. I ran it from my root folder containing package.json and the node_modules folder. I tried npm install gulp, and also npm install: gulp command still not found. I'm a bit puzzled.
Any idea?
do you re install node and npm again? when you re install node try with npm install -g gulp
npm install -g gulp will install gulp globally, so that you can use it as a command.
A better way to do it, is to use npm install gulp (without the -g) to install it into each local project, and fire it off using npm start scripts in each project's package.json.

What is the difference between NPM -g (global) install and NPM --save

What is the difference between npm -g(global) install and npm --save?
First gulp install -g and --save first, then for other projects:
npm i gulp --save-dev Can I just use this command?
I don't know the basic difference between them?
npm -g will install packages globally (to npm cached folder), normally in AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules if you're using Windows, while npm --save or --save-dev will install package directly to your node_modules directory in your project and add package to your packages.json for later purpose.

Demo using Aurelia- can not install jspm

I following this link https://github.com/rmourato/Mvc5-Aurelia
I can not install jspm and run project
I already install nodejs
Can anyone help me on this.
Next to nodejs (which installs npm) you also need to install gulp and jspm.
So change into the Mvc5-Aurelia/Aurelia directory and run:
npm install
npm install -g gulp
npm install -g jspm
More details here: https://github.com/rmourato/Mvc5-Aurelia/tree/master/Mvc5-Aurelia/Aurelia under Running the App
After that you can run gulp watch
