Laravel-elixir with gulp

Question

I have the following problem:
I copied a private project from github. To get it working I have to use "npm install" (the package.json is not made by me).
After that the project should be build with the "gulp" command. Sadly it doesn_t work and I get following error:

\node_modules\laravel-elixir\dist\index.js:21
recipe(Elixir.mixins);
TypeError: recipe is not a function
at global.Elixir (c:\path\to\project\node_modules\laravel-elixir\dist\index.js:21:5)

Here are my versions:
Gulp: CLI version 1.2.2 Local version 3.9.1
node: 6.4.0
npm: 3.10.3

And my gulpfile:

const elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

/*
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | Elixir Asset Management
 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |
 | Elixir provides a clean, fluent API for defining some basic Gulp tasks
 | for your Laravel application. By default, we are compiling the Sass
 | file for our application, as well as publishing vendor resources.
 |
 */

elixir();

Edit: And the package.json:

{
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "prod": "gulp --production",
    "dev": "gulp watch"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "^3.9.1",
    "laravel-elixir": "^6.0.0-9"
  }
}

I don't know if this is enough information so solve the problem, and I know that this is a very specific problm, but maybe someone has an answer at hand or can give me tips to find the mistake.

please post your package.json so the versions can be seen there. Sometimes you have to tweak the versions before you do npm install — sova

Check out https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/elixir

If you are developing on a Windows system or you are running your VM on a Windows host system, you may need to run the npm install command with the --no-bin-links switch enabled:

npm install --no-bin-links

That could it be it my friend.

I'm actually on winows. Sadly that didn't help either. I still get the same error.
