npm install ERROR

npm-debug.txt I'm sending you debug file for npm install! Take a look and let me know what's wrong.

What does your package.json look like?

I was having the same problem.

npm ERR! node v7.7.3 npm ERR! npm v4.1.2 npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! angular-seed@0.0.0 postinstall: bower install npm ERR! Exit status 1

I tried...

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// npm install -g bower bower install

...unsuccessfully.

Then I got it: ENOGIT git is not installed or not in the PATH

So I left the cmd aside and executed in: "C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe"

Worked perfectly.

@dice1996 I think you need to change the permissions on the node_modules directory to have the executable permission for your user. This will allow the bower install command to be run from the node_modules directory.

The reason @parloti works is because the user has access to run the bower from the global space of npm. This is okay to do but if you have multiple projects that use bower and they have different versions, it may become painful to manage from the global space instead of the project space.

This is unlikely since usually the user already has rights to execute files in the node_modules/ (assuming it is the same user tht cloned the git repository in the first place).

In any case, there is not enough info to investigate and we haven't heard back from the OP, so closing. Thx @parloti and @pmcavoy89 for chiming in.

This is what actually happened to me @gkalpak when I pull the repository it. Had to change the permissions to get it to work. Not sure why it happened though.
