Unable to install bower on Openshift

Question

I am unable to install bower on Openshift. I keep on getting errors like

remote: npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, lstat \'/var/lib/openshift/537xxxxcd/app-root/runtime/re         


        

Answer 1

This suggests the following approach:

1. Add dependency "bower": "latest" to package.json

2. Add script for postinstall:

   "scripts": {  
       ... 
       "postinstall": "HOME=$OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR bower install || bower install"  
   },
