通过npm安装grunt和grunt server，按照网上文档在lasticsearch-head-master目录部署
npm install -g grunt
第一个问题是
执行完lasticsearch-head-master目录下一直没有node_modules目录产生。
ls
Dockerfile elasticsearch-head.sublime-project grunt_fileSets.js LICENCE plugin-descriptor.properties README.textile src
Dockerfile-alpine Gruntfile.js index.html package.json proxy _site test
解决：
npm install grunt --save-dev
就在当前目录创建了node_modules
第二个问题是
执行grunt server有如下提示
Local Npm module “grunt-contrib-clean” not found. Is it installed?
Local Npm module “grunt-contrib-concat” not found. Is it installed?
Local Npm module “grunt-contrib-watch” not found. Is it installed?
Local Npm module “grunt-contrib-connect” not found. Is it installed?
Local Npm module “grunt-contrib-copy” not found. Is it installed?
Local Npm module “grunt-contrib-jasmine” not found. Is it installed?
Warning: Task “connect:server” not found. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.
解决方法：
npm install grunt-contrib-clean grunt-contrib-concat grunt-contrib-watch grunt-contrib-connect grunt-contrib-copy grunt-contrib-jasmine
以上两个问题也有可能是我的安装方式不对导致的。通过这样操作最终把问题解决了。
