When I try to run the grunt command I get the following error:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module 'liftoff'

Hello, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem.

@imami777, I don't remember, but it seems that I deleted NPM, Node.js, Grunt and clearing all config files. I also found package.json and package-lock.json in my home directory (I have Ubuntu) and deleted them, then I reinstalled all packages above from the scartch. I have the following package.json in my home directory:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "grunt": "^1.4.1",
    "liftoff": "^3.1.0"
  }
}
