Bower will not install packages when .bowerrc exists
bower, javascript
Solution
I just solved this. I uninstalled and reinstalled bower, and now it works. :S
`sudo npm rm -g bower`
`sudo npm install bower -g`
Now everything works fine!
Problem
I'm trying to install packages using Bower. Without a .bowerrc file, it works. For example, `bower install angular#1.0.6` will install nicely inside `./bower_components`. If there is a .bowerrc with `{ 'directory' : 'public/javascripts/vendor' }`, `bower install angular#1.0.6` will not work. Actually, the output of that command is nothing. It simply prints a blank line, then the next line is my terminal prompt. The package is not installed anywhere. However, if there is an empty .bowerrc file, it will install the package inside ./bower_components. Why is it not installing the packages and how can I fix it? (so they will install) Additional info: No bower command works. `bower` will fail similarly. `bower help` too. In fact, `bower anything` will too.
