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

well, for each time you need to use bower install, you can use export HOME=$HOME/app-root/runtime/repo in the RHC tool, and then into the folder './app-root/repo' you can use the bower install, if bower command is not available, go to folder './nodejs' and do npm install bower.

Then, in order with RHC tool (this worked perfect to me):

• 1 - rhc ssh proyect-name
• 2 - cd nodejs
• 3 - npm install bower
• 4 - cd ..
• 5 - export HOME=$HOME/app-root/runtime/repo
• 6 - cd app-root/repo
• 7 - bower install

done! good luck with your projects
