I'm new to Grunt. I'm trying to configure Grunt on my Mac OSX Lion.

I followed the instructions here and then created a project folder that contains the files below. When I try to run by typing "grunt" into terminal I get command not found. I've also modified my paths sudo nano /etc/paths in the hope that adding the path would make the task runner work but it's still not working. Can someone assist with this please? 

---paths

/usr/bin 
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin/grunt


--- files
node modules
Gruntfile.js
package.json

My fix for this on Mountain Lion was: -

npm install -g grunt-cli

Saw it on http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
