How do I fix missing gulp-tools error for Modern UI?

Question

I have installed the 2024 R2 T290 learning course instance in the default folder address provided (C:\TCourseInstances\SmartFix_T290\) on install along with all options selected to true (install JSON, enable Modern UI, etc).

Every time I run the script “npm run getmodules” I get the following:

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module 'C:\TCourseInstances\SmartFix_T290\FrontendSources\gulp-tools' imported from C:\TCourseInstances\SmartFix_T290\FrontendSources\gulpfile.ts

url: 'file:///C:/TCourseInstances/SmartFix_T290/FrontendSources/gulp-tools'

I’ve looked high and low for solutions for this, but can’t find anything related to this. Can anyone please help me resolve this issue?

I believe I found the answer. One must assure that they are using the correct version of Node.JS which currently, as of 1/27/2025 for Acumatica 24.207.0011, is 18.12.1.

Hopefully if anyone runs into this mistake as well, this will help.

Make sure to install NVM, and then use the NVM commands to install the correct version (18.12.1) and then execute the command to use that version. Once that is done, the command npm run getmodules runs successfully.

If you do see the file “gulp-tools.ts” in your “C:\TCourseInstances\SmartFix_T290\FrontendSources\” folder, then it could be the “npm run getmodules” command is failing to install dependencies. It first runs an “npm i” command that installs required node modules and something could be failing there.
Try to look if there is another error earlier in the console output or try to run “npm i --no-save” directly just to make sure it is executing correctly.
Also make sure you are located in that folder when you run it and that your user has permissions to read and write on that folder.
