I'm a beginner in using bower and had searched all over the internet for installing the bower but couldn't find step by step method for installing the bower. If you please help me for this I shall be very thankful to everyone.
First you need to install node.js which you can do here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/.
Once you have node installed you need to open a command prompt window. To install bower you enter the command npm install -g bower
Follow the steps below to get Node/NPM, Bower & Git up and running for a new project.
1.Download & Install Node.js

5.Initialize Git in your project - git init

npm init (Answer the questions that it asks)

I am trying to clone a remote react-native project but I am getting errors when running the npm install command to download all the dependencies in the package.json folder.
I am in the same root directory where the package.json file is.
This is what I get when running npm install:
when I try doing npm install --force or npm install --legacy-deps I get:
I've tried uninstalling node reinstalling to the LTS and current version.
This is the process I followed when trying to install the dependencies:
clone remote repo
npm init
npm install
I am not quite sure what else to do any help would be greatly appreciated.
First you need to get in project directory then install the node packages
cd <ProjectName>
npm install
I can't install gulp globally on my windows 7 machine. I used npm install --global gulp-cli but showed this error:
when i used gulp -v I got this error
please help
At least, It solved! I followed this article install gulp till step #2 then I installed gulp globally on terminal using this code npm install gulp-cli -g.
Thank you everyone for help me.
try this commands:
If you've previously installed gulp globally, try to delete it using:
npm rm --global gulp
After that install new version of gulp using:
npm install --global gulp
npm link gulp
and verify yourgulp version:
gulp --version
On the Mac, after installing node with:
brew install node
The only package that showed up in /usr/local/lib/node_modules is npm. My previous installation of node contained a bunch of packages such "express, apn, http2, ws, etc."
Any ideas?
There was not a package.json either.
When you install node you only get npm, those other packages you mention, were installed using
# probably with sudo
npm install -g {package}
The package.json is created when you run:
npm init
It has nothing to do with node installation.
If you wish to start a new project:
mkdir project
cd project
npm init
npm install {package-name} {other-package}
And now you will have a node_modules folder inside project/ and a package.json with {package-name} & {other-package} as dependencies
I've just installed Bower for the first time:
npm install -g bower
I created a new directory, moved into it and used npm init (for Gulp, which I'm about to install) and then told Bower to install Bootstrap from inside the directory:
bower install bootstrap
According to the documentation it should install packages to bower_components/ but instead they got placed into raw/bower_components/. Why?
I'm new to Bower and am wondering if I've done something wrong? And also if I'm safe to move the bower_components/ directory?
I have never used grunt but I am trying to install project using github.
They ask me to install assets using grunt. I read documentation on grunt website and have installed the grunt using npm install -g grunt-cli. I have also installed node.js.
I already ran npm install -g grunt-cli bower and it runs without problem but "npm install" fails with many errors.
I would be grateful if somebody can guide me how to install the assets using grunt using a dummy "github project."
Thanks
