Bower Install Fails

[davidtaylorjr]

Currently trying to run npm install on the angular-seed and it keeps failing with the following output:

npm-debug.txt

maybe it's due to your operating system. I'm not a windows user, due to this, I would need to try to install angular seed on windows OS to understand this because in OSx it works. As your npm-debug.txt log states;

93 verbose notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Valid OS:    darwin
93 verbose notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Valid Arch:  any
93 verbose notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Actual OS:   win32
93 verbose notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Actual Arch: x64

As a result, I will try to install angular seed project on Windows 8 OS and see if I get similar errors.

[danielandrukonis]

Well seems that's not an issue. I have used the following

• Git-2.11.0.3-64bit
• node-v6.9.4-64 (restart is required after installation)

Unfortunately there is not enough info on the error log to debug this. It seems that bower install fails. This can be caused by a firewall blocking certain features (e.g. the git: protocol) or by a bad or missing proxy configuration.

[gkalpak]

I don't know if it will help, but make sure you check out the "Common Issues" section here.

[davidtaylorjr]

@gkalpak yes I have looked at the common issues. git protocols are not an issue for me as I use them in other areas.

Not really sure what to do. It says that it is an invalid JSON at one point.

[gkalpak]

What is the output if you run node_modules/.bin/bower install?

[davidtaylorjr]

@davidtaylorjr, I mean if you run ./node_modules/.bin/bower install from the root directory of the project.

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config

This should solve it

I'm on Windows though...

@davidtaylorjr, still waiting for an answer to #392 (comment).
_{Just saying...}

[davidtaylorjr]

I've decided to fork the repo and quit using bower and instead use NPM for all dependencies.

[gkalpak]

👍 (BTW, there is a pending PR for moving the repo away from bower: #390)

[davidtaylorjr]

@gkalpak Very good. I did complete this already and got a successful build. You can see my fork at https://github.com/davidtaylorjr/angular-seed

It compiles correctly. I had to change a few things since on NPM the HTML5 Boilerplate is not updated.
