How do I get BrowserSync + Gulp + Zend MVC Framework to work

I have a website hosted to Ubuntu (and working locally on Ubuntu).

I have just started working with Gulp build system and I am a stuck for half a day trying to set up "BrowserSync".

Following this youtube tutorial [25:00] explaining how to set BrowserSync on a NodeJS server (port 3000) - which isn't exactly my case.

Following this tutorial: https://fettblog.eu/php-browsersync-grunt-gulp/

Suggesting to use a package called "gulp-connect-php" (which I'm not quite sure what is it doing to get the job done)

My local URL for the website is: http://local.example.com and the main .php file within my websites files in located inside public/.

This is my current Gulpfile.js - Which I am not sure how to set up the PHP connect task and BrowserSync:

When running in the terminal gulp, I get an error message pointing on php = require('gulp-connect-php'), - commenting it out get't all the rest working with no problem.

    [...arguments].forEach((x) => { this[x] = Symbol(x) });
