Bower - error when installing package “Arguments to path.join must be strings”

Question

I just created a node project and am trying to install jquery using bower.

bower install jquery

I get the following error:

bowe         


        

Answer 1

For me npm install -update bower was not sufficient.

I needed to install the version by specifing it explicit:

sudo npm install -q bower@1.3.8

and yes, I had to run this with sudo.
