Bower Issue: bower_components not created


I've created a bower.json file in my project root but when I run:

$ bower install

I get the following output:

bower not-cached    https://github.com/mirceasinteanu/nanoScrollerJS.git#master

bower EHTTP         Status code of 404

No bower_components folder is created and so I get errors when referencing the bower packages.

I am using:

OSX   10.9.5
node  v0.12.0
npm   v2.5.1
bower v1.3.12
git   v1.9.2

I have tried running:

$ npm cache clean

Any help would be much appreciated.


Solution

  • Do you have a .bowerrc file in your project root?

    if not you should create one and than you can follow the tutorial on:

    bower.io

    if you have this config file could you post it to your question :)
