(This is unrelated to the screencast - you’re just trying to get Sage working)

Looks like Bower wasn’t installed

Because `bower install` failed since Bower isn’t installed

Try installing Bower again (`npm install -g bower`) then running `bower install` before you try to run `gulp`.

These issues are also unrelated to Sage itself, see [Npm Debugging Guidelines (Failed npm install, bower install, or gulp build? Read this)](https://discourse.roots.io/t/npm-debugging-guidelines-failed-npm-install-bower-install-or-gulp-build-read-this/3060)
