Bower Command Not Found

Question

I am trying to get Bower up and going, but stuck with the Command Not Found error. I have run

npm install -g bower

And there are some ERR! showing though not enough info to help me understand if it is relevant. I pasted the output into a gist so not to take up a ton of space here,

https://gist.github.com/27c49b8a1a5eb552cb8a

I also read about the PATH issue, but I believe I already have that set up,

echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/Users/ryan/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p195/bin:/Users/ryan/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p195@global/bin:/Users/ryan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p195/bin:/Users/ryan/.rvm/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/ryan/.rvm/bin:/bin:/usr/local/share/npm/bin:/Users/ryan/repos/git-friendly

Not sure what to Google next so I came here, thank you for any help.

Answer 1

Try to remove your bower like

npm remove bower

Then reinstall it using admin account

sudo npm install -g bower

Hope that help.

Answer 2

If you have already installed bower and you are getting command not found error, try this.(else run npm install -g bower)

1.) Goto command prompt.

2.) And run this cmd: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\ "Your username" \AppData\Roaming\npm (Please do not forget to replace your username in the command).

3.) Now the system will be able to find bower and you can install anything you want! :-)
