Hi there. Trying to play with this (thanks for sharing), I've hit in the following dead end:

Unable to find a suitable version for d3, please choose one:
    1) d3#~3.3.13 which resolved to 3.3.13 and is required by nvd3#1.7.1
    2) d3#~3.3.8 which resolved to 3.3.13 and is required by datamaps#0.4.0
    3) d3#~3.5.5 which resolved to 3.5.6 and is required by metricsgraphics-example
    4) d3#>=3.4.8 which resolved to 3.5.6 and is required by metrics-graphics#2.5.0

Prefix the choice with ! to persist it to bower.json

Upon selecting an option the installation completed successfully.

Hmm still happens for me. Anyone else?

[nmkridler]

@srenatus I updated the bower.json file. Let me know if it's still giving you problems.

[AllisonMadigan]

I am getting the following error

bower require#* not-cached git://github.com/nathanfaucett/require.js.git# bower require#* resolve git://github.com/nathanfaucett/require.js.git# bower require#* not-cached git://github.com/nathanfaucett/require.js.git# bower require#* resolve git://github.com/nathanfaucett/require.js.git# bower require#* ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/nathanfaucett/require.js.git", exit code of #128 fatal: remote error: Repository not found.

Additional error details: fatal: remote error: Repository not found.

[nmkridler]

It looks like that repo is gone. I'll try to put in a fix soon.

[AllisonMadigan]

Thank you!

[nmkridler]

Wasn't able to find a proper replacement, I think I need to rewrite a bit of javascript. For now, I've updated the examples to include the missing file, so the examples should run.

[ZeeshanKhalidSE]

Hello guys,

bower require#* ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/nathanfaucett/require.js.git", exit code of #128 fatal: remote error: Repository not found.

how I can resolve this issue. Any hints?

Seems to be a recent issue with Bower. Run the following code which will force git to use https:// instead of git://

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
