Bower install issues

I followed all of the instructions for activation the new roots 7 here: http://roots.io/roots-101/#theme-activation

I got as far as typing ‘npm install -g gulp bower’ and ‘npm install’ and got the following:

$ npm install -g gulp bower

$ npm install

After which I tried running the following:

$ bower install

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/lib/node_modules/configstore/index.js:54
throw err;
^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/brandonpowell/.config/configstore/bower-github.json’

I’m still learning how use Sega so will know everything about it have read a lot in the instructions in pdf book and look up on how to fix it but nothing is working for me.

I already tried doing sudo bower install, which executes without errors as far as I can tell, still, doesn’t let me run bower install.

:see_no_evil:
