I am playing around with Spark in order to learn how to use it. I did a new install under Homestead following the install instructions. The css link generated from the page at the route is

 <link href="http://spark-test.local:8000/css/app.css" rel="stylesheet">

No css was generated. So, the home page is jacked. Can anyone help me track down the problem?

Update
Here are the warnings I get when I run npm install:

npm WARN package.json laravel-spark@1.0.12 No README data
npm WARN unmet dependency /home/vagrant/projects/spark-test/node_modules/laravel-elixir/node_modules/browserify requires   glob@'^4.0.5' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency /home/vagrant/projects/spark-test/node_modules/laravel-elixir/node_modules/glob,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version 5.0.14
npm WARN unmet dependency /home/vagrant/projects/spark-test/node_modules/laravel-elixir/node_modules/gulp-phpspec requires gulp-util@'~2.2.14' but will load
npm WARN unmet dependency /home/vagrant/projects/spark-test/node_modules/laravel-elixir/node_modules/gulp-util,
npm WARN unmet dependency which is version 3.0.6

And the gulp errors:

 module.js:338
throw err;
      ^
Error: Cannot find module 'module-deps'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)

Update 2
After following what Aditya posted in the answer below, everything worked. I am posting here so others can see the resolution to my NPM dependency errors with gulp. I finally got past the dependency errors by running 

 npm update

Which broke SASS in my project. I fixed that problem by running

 npm rebuild node-sass

I hope this helps someone

Well yes this is your problem. Before you run your application do the following steps:

  1. Run php artisan migrate. This creates user and team tables.
  2. Run npm install or sudo npm install so that it install all the dependencies like Bootstrap and vue.js
  3. Your problem may be here: Run gulp. If you do not have one installed, run sudo npm install -g gulp

  • When I run npm install I get several NPM WARN responses. Since they are only warnings, and not errors, I tried running GULP - but I get errors. – Roger Creasy Sep 25 '15 at 09:29
  • I added the npm warns under "Update" in my original question. Thanks for taking the time to help! – Roger Creasy Sep 26 '15 at 11:19
  • Well these are just warnings. Please add gulp errors that you are getting. – Aditya Giri Sep 26 '15 at 11:49
  • Sorry. I got interrupted. The gulp errors are there now. – Roger Creasy Sep 26 '15 at 11:51

    Well, heres a quick fix. Just do `npm install module-name` until the error is not removed. Here, in thus case, the module-name will be replaced by `module-deps`. This is a common error in gulp. If it gives errors, just do the same with `sudo` prefixed. Hope that helps. – Aditya Giri Sep 26 '15 at 12:05
  • Thanks. I have been installing dependencies for an hour. It seems unending :-) Could something be wrong with my base npm install? – Roger Creasy Sep 26 '15 at 13:17
  • No. It is common error that even I faced. After just 2hours, even when my internet speed was very less, I completed installation. Just go on. It is endable. – Aditya Giri Sep 26 '15 at 13:24
