Since yesterday I have been trying to install and use bower for managing my dependencies. After going through many articles although I have been able to install it. I am not being able to run it. Beside many articles I also followed this video:
Bower running in Package Manager Console in Visual Studio install
As the video is in some other languages even though I followed all the commonds, I could not get
$env:path
After doing everything when I type bower in the Package manager console, it gives me error
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
PS: I have already installed npm and node.
In order to use Bower correctly in Windows, you need to install msysgit correctly. This is the requirement as specified in bower github https://github.com/bower/bower#a-note-for-windows-users.
The option you have to select during installation is Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt.
After successful installation. Restart Visual Studio and then you are good to go.
In my case, after installing msysgit, I installed bower using:
PM> Install-Package Bower
Above step automatically installed dependencies (node.js, jquery)
I also had to specify relative path to bower.cmd:
PM>.\MyProject.bin\bower.cmd install semantic-ui
