When I type "grunt serve" at the command line, the server freezes when I start the "simultaneous: server" (parallel) task, and I do not receive any message that the server is terminating the process due to any erros. The imagemin.js error doesnt sem stops the server
Loading "imagemin.js" tasks...ERROR >> Error: Cannot find module 'imagemin-gifsicle' Running "serve" task Running "clean:server" (clean) task Running "wiredep:app" (wiredep) task Running "wiredep:sass" (wiredep) task Running "concurrent:server" (concurrent) task
Here is the contents of my grunt file
