When running npm install in homestead I get a long list of errors which start out with 

npm ERR! UNKNOWN, mkdir '/home/vagrant/Code/gulp/node_modules/gulp-imagemin/node_modules/imagemin/node_modules/imagemin-optipng/node_modules/optipng-bin/node_modules/bin-wrapper/node_modules/bin-version-check/node_modules/bin-version/node_modules/find-versions'

My guess is the problem with the 260 character limit on paths that windows has and since all these folders map over to Windows from vagrant that is where the error is coming from.

Does anyone have an idea to get around this?

I have the same issue. Have you resolved it? –  c 2 Feb 13 at 23:31
    
@c2 I installed on my host machine and made sure to do npm install --global gulp –  Casey Feb 14 at 2:42
