Provide a setting to support the Gulp binary in an alternate directory from /usr/local/bin/gulp

+1 I'm using nvm and can't use this plugin

[Trudko]

+1. Because of this this package can't be used in Windows env.

[ngryman]

+1.

@kamilbiela, @Trudko, you can make it work while waiting for a patch:

• open Settings > Packages.
• search for gulp-helper.
• go to Settings of the package.
• click on View Code.
• edit gulp-helper-view.coffee at line 35 to point to the correct path.
• save and restart Atom.

Well sure we can @ngryman but this isn't long term solution.

@ngryman provided a workaround, but as noted this is not a solution. In this day and age the assumption should be that people are using nvm, so being able to define the path to the gulp executable somewhere in settings would be great.

It should also be noted that the above solution only works if /usr/bin/node exists. For people like me who only use NVM, a quick workaround is to create a symlink to your current node path:

$ which node
/home/user/.nvm/versions/v0.12.4/bin/node

$ sudo ln -s /home/user/.nvm/versions/v0.12.4/bin/node /usr/bin/node

After that symlink is created (and you have changed the path for gulp as described above), gulp-helper should run smoothly -- having the ability to set the path for node would also be a great idea.
