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

npm install -g bower doesn't install bower components, you should run as well bower install to have all bower's components installed and then run grunt serve. It should work fine

Answer 2

npm install -g bower
bower install
grunt serve

It's worked too

Answer 3

In my case, I added sudo for it to work. So, I ran sudo npm install -g bowerand then bower install. grunt serve then worked when I ran it.

Answer 4

Try to do bower install. If its failing saying not able to connect to git then you can change repo pointing location by simply running below command

$ git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/ 

This will ensure that you will be downloaded over https instead of git if its causing orginasation firewall to block it.

Answer 5

npm install -g bower
bower install
grunt serve

worked for me ...

Answer 6

I had the same issue, here's what worked in my case:

1. installed ruby and compass (yeoman needs these)
2. verified that path to Ruby bin folder is added to %PATH%
3. installed Git
4. restarted cmd window and ran "bower install" in the app folder

After that, grunt serve command worked perfectly. Note: maybe installing Git and running bower install would suffice in your case.
