What happens if you run npm install?

[bparrish]

it hangs for a small second, and then gets to bower install and stops

So i try npm start again and get this to the console:

npm ERR! angular-phonecat@0.0.0 postinstall: bower install
npm ERR! Exit status 8

Directories are different because I wanted to try a new directory

[petebacondarwin]

OK, so how about running:

node_modules\.bin\bower install

[bparrish]

I get no output to the console, same error after running npm start again

[petebacondarwin]

Can you try installing bower globally:

npm install -g bower

Then running it directly:

bower install

There have been issues where bower cannot access Github.

[bparrish]

globally installed just fine, running bower install did not put anything to the console

[petebacondarwin]

Hmm. Did anything get installed in app\bower_components? I've got to go offline. I'll see if I can help further tomorrow.

[bparrish]

yeah looks like that directory is populated

[petebacondarwin]

I'm not sure what to say. It is unclear what is actually failing...

also if it helps, I have cygwin on my computer and am to use those commands through windows CMD... From the research I have done, I know that cygwin and nodejs and play nice together (examples from my experience). I do not really want to uninstall cygwin. I have also tried installing Console2. as suggested here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/17416869/1888585, somehow I got it to work ONCE last night with Console2, but now I have no idea on what I did to make it work.

Any suggestions would be fantastic
