Hi,

The discrepancy you observed regarding the local version of Gulp is likely due to running the command outside the tools folder. When you run the gulp --version command outside the tools folder, the local version will appear as "Unknown" because it cannot retrieve the Gulp version from the package.json file.

In this case, it's important to note that the local version being displayed as "Unknown" is expected behavior when running the command outside the tools folder. It doesn't necessarily indicate an issue with your installation.

It's a limitation of how Gulp retrieves the local version information.

If you have successfully installed Metronic HTML and everything is functioning as expected, you can proceed with your project without any major concerns.

If you have any further questions or encounter any specific difficulties during the installation or usage of Metronic, feel free to ask for further assistance.

Thanks
