It seems like you have not defined your theme registration for grunt.

Go to dev\tools\grunt\configs\themes.js file from your root directory:

And assign your theme cofiguration as shown below: 

Themename: {
        area: 'frontend',
        name: 'theme/Themename',
        locale: 'en_US',
        files: [
            'css/styles-m',
            'css/styles-l'
        ],
        dsl: 'less'
    },

Then run your command again.

  • Okay do one thing, go to your root directory. There should be a file "Gruntfile.js.sample". Rename it with Gruntfile.js. then try
