'bower install' fail on Windows #5502

gimmi · 2013-12-21T09:48:56Z

Hi, I'm trying to setup development environment for AngularJS and so I'm following the procedure described here. I keep getting an error with the command bower install relative to installation of a package called ng-closure-runner#*. Here is the full console log for the command:

This is a bug in bower see bower/bower#798 and bower/bower#1006

petebacondarwin · 2013-12-21T19:00:39Z

I agree, this is a bug with bower. The workaround is to roll back to [email protected]:

npm uninstall -g bower
npm install -g [email protected]

gimmi · 2013-12-22T08:47:20Z

Yes, with [email protected] it works

angi- · 2013-12-22T20:42:40Z

It doesn't work on my end with bower 1.2.6:

Windows 7 here - confirming that 1.2.8 doesn't work, but going back to 1.2.6 works.

JimminiKin · 2014-01-08T01:11:30Z

@angi- ran into the issue again too, after reinstalling 1.2.6. Just deleted the bower/cache folder and it looks fine now.

conia · 2014-03-11T14:01:18Z

When I install RAW I found the similar error
I check the path
'C:\Users\Conia\AppData\Roaming\bower\cache\packages\fd71ff9047cf3d1a3acf9a29600242a6'
and found it was empty so I deleted the folder ('fd71ff9047cf3d1a3acf9a29600242a6')
then reinstall RAW (by command: bower install)
It's OK for me

michalliu · 2014-03-25T11:55:22Z

[email protected] works for me too

basvijfwinkel-tl · 2014-03-31T02:09:04Z

Just reinstalling or downgrading to 1.2.6 produced the same error.
updating the decompress-zip package after installing bower solved it for me :
npm update decompress-zip
After this 'bower install' proceeded without the error mentioned above.

turtlemonvh · 2014-04-01T23:09:12Z

The combination of rolling back the bower version to 1.2.6, blowing out all the application cache,and re-running did the trick for me too. Neither step worked by itself (i.e., removing the cache and re-running with the current bower version still failed).

danilodeveloper · 2014-04-03T13:15:14Z

Updating the decompress-zip solved it for me!
npm uninstall -g bower && npm update decompress-zip && npm install -g bower

realuserofgit · 2014-04-18T12:12:37Z

@danilodeveloper you solved man !

@danilodeveloper Unfortunately your solution doesn't work for me. Can you please tell me the name of your node version and bower? I would like to run "bower install livereload --save-dev".

sheerun · 2015-01-11T16:55:24Z

@PunkSage We have now Windows CI. Feel free to add failing test if you want us to fix it.

proprashcs · 2017-01-26T15:31:12Z

when I run "npm install -g bower"
it shows like below
C:\Users\Prashant.shukla\AppData\Roaming\npm\bower -> C:\Users\Prashant.shukla\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bower\bin\bower
[email protected] C:\Users\Prashant.shukla\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bower

After this when I check
"bower -v"
found
bash: bower: command not found
How to fix it?
