Install bower ubuntu error

Missing bower packages: Package: bourbon

  • Specified: 4.2.6
  • Installed: (not installed)

Run bower install to install missing dependencies.

An error occurred in the constructor for ember-cli-dependency-checker at /home/chiho/Desktop/ember-project/node_modules/ember-cli-dependency-checker

After running bower install I get the following message

usr/lib/node_modules/bower/lib/node_modules/configstore/index.js:54 throw err; ^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/home/chiho/.config/configstore/bower-github.json’ You don’t have access to this file.

fixed it with

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
