Unable to install Grunt ?

Question

I've installed grunt :

 sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v4.3.0/bin/grunt -> /Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v4.3.0/lib/node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt
/Users/user/.nvm/versions/node/v4.3.0/lib
└── grunt-cli@1.2.0

But when i run grunt i have errors:

grunt 
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface (v1.2.0)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, grunt hasn't been installed locally to
your project. For more information about installing and configuring grunt,
please see the Getting Started guide:

http://gruntjs.com/getting-started

Where i am wrong please ?

you have to install grunt globally and locally

you have installed the cli globally with the -g flag

now you have to install it locally in your package.json with ...

npm install -SD grunt

then your "grunt" command will work - assuming you have a valid gruntfile

This looks like a duplicate of Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

In a nutshell, try running grunt:init or npm:init first (depending on the version you have. See linked question for more details.

install the command-line interface: npm install -g grunt-cli
install the local task runner: cd [my project root] npm install grunt --save-dev
define your Gruntfile.js as per http://gruntjs.com/getting-started#the-gruntfile
run the tasks with: grunt
