bower behind a proxy

Question

bower install behind a proxy fails in timeout with the following settings (some set are useless...) :

git config --global http.proxy fr-proxy.ex         


        

Answer 1

Edit your .bowerrc file and add the wanted proxy configuration:

{
    "proxy":"http://:",
    "https-proxy":"http://:"
}

If working behind an authenticated proxy, user and password should be included like this:

{
    "proxy":"http://:@:",
    "https-proxy":"http://:@:"
}

Usually, the .bowerrc is next to the bower.json. And if there is no .bowerrc file near the bower.json file, you can create one by yourself.
