In order to be able to run gulp you need to install the gulp command line interface globally like so: npm install -g gulp-cli. Afterwards you need to add a gulpfile.js where you would configure your builds/tasks. For more information check out the official "Getting started" guide and the docs on gulp: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md

Laravel has a file named gulpfile.js inbuilt so do I still need to add the file and from where in the system should I run the command line ? From the current project folder or the system 32 folder and should i run this in cmd as administrator?
After you run npm install -g gulp-cli this will install the gulp command line interface in a place where it is globally accessible. After installing it you should run open a command prompt, navigate to the folder where your gulpfile.js is located and run gulp from there.
i tried that but I am getting the error which I have updated now in my question ..
This means that the dependencies, defined in the package.json file have not been installed. I guess they are located in the same folder as the the gulpfile. To install those dependencies you need to run npm install and a new node_modules folder will be created where they will be installed.
yes that is created but with some errors as I showed in the screenshot in the question but still the gulp command does not work
