EACCES Error with Bower install?

I've read a few answers on StackOverflow & some other sites but none seem to fix the issue I'm having.

I'm installing AppGyver Add-ons, via terminal. Getting the following error:

BradMacBookPro:SparksInSpain breadadams$ bower install https://##MY-DOWNLOAD-CODE##@addons.appgyver.com/steroids-addons.js?version=3.1.0 --save

I'm not sudo, I've tried --allow-root, cleaned the bower cache, always get the same error on install. Some local permission problem?

I had a similar issue that I couldn't resolve using these suggestions. I was successful when I ran Bower with root privileges, like so:

sudo bower install --allow-root

Change the ownership for the .config and cache directory

sudo chown -R username:username ~/.config

and

sudo chown -R username:username ~/.cache

I noticed you tried this from a MacBook Pro.

You could try this:

go to the finder
under menu go Go To Folder type this: ~/.cache/bower
delete its content and try again.

Also as @Edwin suggested you may try:

The command bower cache clean which will have the same effect irrespective of OS.

Im not sure what happened with my project but in order to fix the issues with bower I had to run the following.

sudo npm install -g bower

sudo bower cache clean --allow-root 

rm -Rf bower_components

sudo bower install --allow-root

Im still not really sure what went wrong but after those commands i was up and running

I hit the same thing and noticed that the bower_components folder was owned by the root user. I changed ownership to my user and everything worked without having to run bower as root.

sudo chown -R $USER bower_components

1) run

$groups

to get the name of your group

2) then run

$sudo chown -R {user}:{group} ~/.config 
$sudo chown -R {user}:{group} ~/.cache

where {user} - is username and {group} - is group name

Like everyone says, bower and npm shouldn't be run with sudo. This corrected the problem for me on my OSX machine.

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

Now you should be able to run:

npm install
npm start

and even

bower install

without having to use sudo.

*note npm start usually calls bower install

I had the same issue but nothing above worked for me. If you recently updated Xcode and don't recognize, don't forget to agree the terms and install the command line tools!

xcode-select --install
