There are other ways to install and use Grunt. When using Visual Studio 2015, we can install a Visual Studio extension named Grunt Launcher. This extension will launch Grunt, Gulp, and Bower commands in Visual Studio when you right-click the gruntfile.js of your application.
It can be installed in two ways:
- From the IDE menu go to Tools | Extentions and Updates | Online | Search | Task runner explorer
- Downloading the extension as a .vsix file from https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/dcbc5325-79ef-4b72-960e-0a51ee33a0ff
