I am using mac and I have some issue with bower. It will not download any git repository by it shorten name but it will if I provide a full path.
For example this call:
bower install --save Polymer/core-elements
Will return multiple times:
bower retry Download of https://github.com/PolymerLabs/marked-element/archive/0.3.3.tar.gz failed with ECONNRESET, trying with git..
But when I try to run this:
bower install --save https://github.com/Polymer/marked-element.git
Every thing works fine.
I have tried this with multiple repositories, so the polymer project is only an example.
What is wrong with my bower?!
found this github issue. But what helped me is just to make sure that my proxy settings in .bowerrc file are correct. In my case I've just deleted al things that related to proxy settings.

I want to code an app in angular 1.4 and for that I came across mean.io the best scaffolding tool presently.But when i downloaded it,i got webpack and tons of various unfamiliar stuff.Please tell me how i can download a mean.io app which uses angular 1.4 or if not then a nice scaffolding tool for angular 1.4 and steps to install it.That would be a great help !
Thanks in advance.
What you can do is head over to the Github page for the mean.io framekwork at this link Mean.io Github version 0.7.0. From there take a look at the read me and scroll follow the instructions.
You'll need to install mongo database on your machine and make sure its running each time you want to run your application. Here is a good link, follow it step by step. MongoDB install - windows
Then you will have to have the latest version of node.js installed. It can be installed here. node js download
You will also need to install the latest version of Git to your machine. It can be installed here Git download
Once the above are done, you will need to navigate to a directory on your computer using the command prompt/terminal and type the following commands. I suggest you go to C:\Users\YourName
npm install -g npm
npm update -g
npm install -g mean-cli
npm install -g bower
They will take some time so be patient.
Then type this command to clone the boilerplate code to your machine
mean init <yourAppTitle>
When that is done change directories into the project folder you just made like this
cd yourAppTitle
Then inside this folder type the following commands to install to your project
npm install
bower install
You may see some warning signs/errors and you can ignore them for now and proceed.
Finally, type this command inside your project folder - this will start your app. Remember to have mongodb running simultaneously or this will not work
gulp
Head over to your browser and type in localhost:3000
You should see the boilerplate code.
If you cannot get Mean.io working you can try installing a different angular scaffold here - angular scaffold. Read through the readme file and you will see steps to install the angular scaffold
I have Windows 7 32-bit. I installed the latest Node.js 32 bit.
When I try to run the command npm install jquery, I receive the error:
Error: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\RT\AppData\Roaming\npm
How does one resolve it?
Manually creating a folder named 'npm' in the displayed path fixed the problem.
More information can be found on Troubleshooting page
I ran into the same problem while installing a package via npm.
After creating the npm folder manually in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\ that particular error was gone, but it gave similar multiple errors as it tried to create additional directories in the npm folder and failed. The issue was resolved after running the command prompt as an administrator.
This can also be fixed by installing a node package manually.
npm install npm -g
The process of doing that will setup all the required directories.
I recommend setting an alternative location for your npm modules.
npm config set prefix C:\Dev\npm-repository\npm --global
npm config set cache C:\Dev\npm-repository\npm-cache --global
Of course you can set the location to wherever best suits.
This has worked well for me and gets around any permissions issues that you may encounter.
You can go to the Start Menu and search the Node.js icon and open the shell and then install anything with
install <packagename> -g
Install a stable version instead of the latest one, I have downgrade my version to node-v0.10.29-x86.msi from 'node-v0.10.33-x86.msi' and it is working well for me!

I needed a package from github that was written in typscript. I did a git pull of the most recent version from the master branch into the root of my main project. I then went into the directory and did an npm install so that the gulp commands would work that generates ES5 modules. Anyway, to make the long story short, my build process was trying to build files from this new folder so I had to move it out of my root. This was causing these same errors.
I have been searching for a solution for two days now to setup Phonegap on my Windows 8.1
system without any success.
Whenever I try to install Phonegap through npm I get an error that I think has to do
with Cordova(-lib).
To install Phonegap I had to install Node.js (v0.10.28) on my system. After this I opened up Windows Powershell and issued the following command like instructed on the Phonegap website:
npm install -g phonegap
Output: (This is the only part of the error)
error notarget No compatible version found: cordova-lib#'lorinbeer/cordova-lib.git#configparser_module'
error notarget Valid install targets:
error notarget ["0.21.2","0.21.3"]
error notarget
error notarget This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.
error notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
error notarget a package version that doesn't exist.
I also tried installing just Cordova through the npm and then install Phonegap, but that
didn't solve anything either.
Running the Powershell with administrator rights also didn't help and tried solutions of other people who also had problems setting up Phonegap, but nothing works.
I really hope that someone could help me out here.
Thanks in advance.
Download the older version. I think there was a problem in the new one
npm install -g phonegap#3.4
I tried this and worked for me.
I had the same issue yesterday. If you check npm-debug.log, you'll notice that there is a permission issue ("Permission denied") when npm tries to access the cordova-lib git repository url. Actually, cordova-lib is a dependency for phonegap. So, it can't install it and I think that's why you get that error.
So, I tried this: install cordova-lib first then Phonegap. Yet, it still won't work; npm does not seem to check if cordova-lib is installed before trying to do it.
At this point, what I could do is to change the repository from which it retrieves cordova-lib. Here is the NPM install syntax:
npm install <tarball file>
npm install <tarball url>
npm install <folder>
npm install <pkg>
npm install <pkg>#<tag>
npm install <pkg>#<version>
npm install <pkg>#<version range>
This means I can install from a tar.gz file. Great! So, I just went to this page https://www.npmjs.org/package/phonegap to check the phonegap repository and performed these steps:
Download the zip of phonegap-cli repo (https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-cli/archive/master.zip)
Unzip it
Open the package.json file and find the cordova-lib entry in dependencies (line 32)
Change the value to 0.21.3 which is the last version.
Recreate an archive of the folder to the tar.gz format
Open your CLI and run this command:
npm install -g path/to/archive/phonegap-cli-master.tar.gz
It should work now.
Hope that help!
I had a similar problem today too on Mac, even after Lorenzo said it should be all fine. Just running this:
sudo npm install -g phonegap
... produced loads of errors like this:
error: file ./objects/pack/pack-48c0ff4147fb7e8922546c4a857b98a1cb48e01f.pack is far too short to be a packfile
I combined Lorenzo and arpan shah's solutions:
sudo npm install -g phonegap#3.4
sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm update -g phone gap
... and it seemed to magically work.
Problem
We published with a dependency on a branch of cordova-lib. This fork appears unavailable when lots of requests are coming through (I think). One way or another, it's unreliable.
Changing the dependency to 0.21.3 will cause commands to fail, but will allow the install.
Solutions
update the 'cordova-lib' dependency to the npm published version '0.21.3'
**note, this will allow the install, but other phonegap commands will fail
wait for about 20 minutes, then npm update -g phonegap
testing an update to resolve this issue
further updates momentarily
update
We've pushed version 3.5.0-0.20.3 which should resolve this issue
$ npm update -g phonegap
if that doesn't work, try
$ npm cache clean
and reinstall phonegap
I tryed above comamnds npm cache clear and reinstall phoegap. It downloaded all libs but not command line scripts (phonegap command had still 3.4 as version). I found that better was to give command: npm install -g cordova (v 3.5)!
Has anyone installed Polymer on windows? I am new to using GIT and it says you need Bower and Node and some other things to get it to work.
We are working on a simple ZIP file for people to download and get started, but we haven't finished that yet.
Until we get that ZIP done, you will want to get started by installing Bower. Bower helps you manage component installations. You can worry about GIT later.
Install Bower:
Install nodejs
execute this command:
npm install -g bower
Make a project, acquire some Polymer elements:
make a project folder
inside project folder, execute this command:
bower install Polymer/polymer-ui-elements
That will produce a number of components in your project folder to help you get started. Please refer to http://polymer-project.org for more information.
Step 1:- install node.js
Step 2:- install Git
set the Git location Path (system's environmental variable)
like:-- D:\Program Files\Git\cmd
Step 3:- install bower using npm install -g bower command check the location of npm global binaries by using command (npm config get prefix).
copy the Path and set the bower location Path (system's environmental variable)
like--> C:\Users\USER_PROFILE\AppData\Roaming\npm
the whole Path will look like..(node to Polymer)
D:\Program Files\nodejs\;D:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Users\USER_PROFILE\AppData\Roaming\npm
Step 4:- using command prompt go to project folder or create a project then type
bower install polymer
inside project
folder.
I've been trying to install the Socket.IO module for Node.js without success, The first time I tried by installing with the following npm command:
npm install Socket.IO
It didn't work, then I tried by downloading their github repository as a zip file, placing it into the node_modules folder, extracting the file into a folder named "Socket.IO" and trying again the command:
nmp install Socket.IO
Neither worked, I renamed the folder because probably had the same name as the default root I showed before, neither worked.
BOTH cases, gives me this output:
I'm guessing that the second form tries to download the sources instead of installing from the folder I specify. What could it be? A connection error? it says "SSL Error: CERT_UNTRUSTED", should I configurate the type of connection or something else? or even better, is there any easier way to install Socket.IO?
Make sure your npm is updated, if it is you could try npm config set strict-ssl false to ignore the error.
It seems this is related because npmjs.org changed certificate.
