Bower Error: Failed UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE

Question

I received errors as in the following when I tried to install jquery using bower.

bower install jquery --save

bower error Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/jquery failed: UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE

Please help thanks.

Answer 1

I had this problem because bower couldn't verify the ssl signature correctly (because of our network). I added this to the .bowerrc file, and its solved the problem:

{
  "strict-ssl": false
}
