Installing/Using Bower on Uberspace with NPM

Question

Hi I use uberspace and installed ghost there. Ghost uses npm. If I try: ``` npm install -g bower ``` It doesn't install it and throws a lot of erros messages what makes sense because the server is shared between many users. sudo npm install -g bower Tells me that it doesn't know bower If I install it locally with ``` npm install bower ``` It installs it to ../node_modules. But using for example ``` bower install angular-mailchimp ``` Throws the error: -bash: bower: command not found How do I get it running?

Accepted Answer

I was able to get Bower installed in the correct place by prefixing the global install with the following command.

```
npm install -g --prefix=$HOME bower
```
