I am just executing bower install command on my debian OS
but when this is recognizing the dependencies defined on my bower.json.
its got stuck in a part that I dont understand
this is the last part that i see in my command line
"dependencies": {
"angular": {
"endpoint": {
"name": "angular",
"source": "angular",
"target": "^1.0.8"
},
"canonicalDir": "/home/ricco/.cache/bower/packages/060a9fe0e60a0d3d6c9ed350cde03e61/1.5.4",
"pkgMeta": {
"name": "angular",
"version": "1.5.4",
"license": "MIT",
"main": "./angular.js",
"ignore": [],
"dependencies": {},
"homepage": "https://github.com/angular/bower-angular",
"_release": "1.5.4",
"_resolution": {
"type": "version",
"tag": "v1.5.4",
"commit": "b972d5aa130bef5c4d931f22bd11627207ea35ca"

},
"nrDependants": 1
}
]
}
]
}
}, {
"type": "input",
"message": "Answer",
"name": "prompt",
"level": "prompt"
then there after dislpaying the
{
"type": "input",
"message": "Answer",
"name": "prompt",
"level": "prompt"
it got stuck there for some reason.
This is my bower.json
{
"name": "ng-boilerplate",
"version": "0.3.2",
"devDependencies": {
"angular": "~1.2",
"angular-mocks": "~1.2",
"bootstrap": "~3.1",
"angular-bootstrap": "~0.10.0",
"angular-ui-router": "~0.2",
"angular-route":"1.5.3",
"angular-resource":"1.5.3"
},
"dependencies": {}
}

Answer 1

I experienced the same issue using the Angular boilerplate ngbp.
I solved the issue by removing the following line from my .bowerrc file:
"json": "bower.json"
Alternatively, see the answer below by #NikolaB. which involves adding resolutions to your bower.json instead of removing this line.

Answer 2

When you specify dependencies for your app via Bower, some of the packages might rely on different versions of the same library. You will have to resolve what version of libraries you want in your app.
If you configure you Bower using "json": "bower.json" inside .bowerrc file, Bower will expect those resolutions to be inside bower.json file. This means that you must have "resolutions" property inside bower.json file.
So, you could try adding "resolutions" property into your bower.json:
{
"name": "ng-boilerplate",
"version": "0.3.2",
"devDependencies": {
"angular": "~1.2",
"angular-mocks": "~1.2",
"bootstrap": "~3.1",
"angular-bootstrap": "~0.10.0",
"angular-ui-router": "~0.2",
"angular-route":"1.5.3",
"angular-resource":"1.5.3"
},
"resolutions": {
"angular": "1.2.12"
}
}
