I have read the related post but continue to get errors when I run NPM Install or Bower Install:

npm WARN cannot run in wd roots@7.0.1 node node\_modules/bower/bin/bower install && grunt dev (wd=/Users/jeniferdesign/Sites/beyondperfection/wp-content/themes/beyond)

Did you try removing the `node_modules` directory and running `npm install`?
