If I install a js lib with bower install, where is the cached location in my computer? I am using mac 10.10.
Bower is a command line utility. Install it with npm. Bower requires node, npm and git. For troubleshooting installation on different platforms, read the troubleshooting wiki page. Install packages with bower install. Bower installs packages to bower_components/.
How you use packages is up to you. Bower provides hooks to facilitate using packages in your tools and workflows. Bower is optimized for the front-end. If multiple packages depend on a package - jQuery for example - Bower will download jQuery just once. This is known as a flat dependency graph and it helps reduce page load.
Bower doesn’t concatenate or minify code or do anything else - it just installs the right versions of the packages you need and their dependencies. To get started, Bower works by fetching and installing packages from all over, taking care of hunting, finding, downloading, and saving the stuff you’re looking for.
After connecting to a VPN outside Oman it worked. It would be good if bower would not hang forever in this case, but give useful errors, if possible. Sorry, something went wrong.
Apparently its located in your home folder.
Following is the exact path to the bower cache
~/.cache/bower/
