Bower: “command not found” after installation

Question

I seem to be getting the following when I execute npm install bower -g

/usr/local/share/npm/bin/bower -> /usr/local/share/npm/lib/node_module         


        

Answer 1

If you have a 'non standard' installation, you need to find the node bin location location with:

npm config list

Then add the node bin location to your ~/.bash_profile

export PATH=:$PATH

Remember to open a new terminal to test, or source ~/.bash_profile
