Bower doesn't install packages?!

[rubik]

During the initial scaffolding (slush angular) I see these warnings:

[slush] Scaffolding done
[11:59:43] Can't install. Run `bower install --config.interactive=false` manually
npm WARN deprecated gulp-ngmin@0.3.0: Deprecated in favor of gulp-ng-annotate: https://github.com/Kagami/gulp-ng-annotate - Reasoning: https://github.com/btford/ngmin/issues/93
npm WARN deprecated ngmin@0.5.0: use ng-annotate instead
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing fsevents@0.2.0

Then, when running gulp serve:

Are these two related?

[joakimbeng]

Yes, they are related. If bower install was not run the bower_components directory won't be created.

Does a manual bower install work for you?

[rubik]

Argh, sorry it was my setup. Something was shadowing the global install of bower and so the command wasn't found. The error was a bit cryptic.

So I guess the only issue here is the deprecation of ngmin and gulp-ngmin.

[joakimbeng]

I see, it would be good if I add some better error messages to gulp-install then...

Yes, will fix the deprecation issue with gulp-ngmin.
