What is causing 'grunt serve' to throw 'No Bower components found'?

Question

I am starting out angular app with angular-fullstack in my Windows 7 box. I installed bunch of npm packages with -g options, including grunt-bower-install. I created the app

Answer 1

Confusingly, the grunt-bower-install task that comes with angular-fullstack doesn't install bower components. It doesn't install anything. This error is trying to let you know that it can't find the bower_components directly, so it can't do its thing.

To fix the issue, run bower install.

If you don't have Bower installed, run npm install -g bower first.
