Thanks for looking into this.

@acub, have you tried sudo npm install?

#3

nope.
as you might have noticed, i’m running wamp on a windows machine. however, i have specifically ran command shell as system administrator and i get the same exact error. since i don’t know how to copy paste from shell (not the typical webdev guru here, just a guy learning to do things the proper way) i have made a screenshot of it.

thank you for you advice

#4

Try, sudo npm install. Looks like you didn’t run that on your command from the screen shot.

If it happens again, post the results from that as-well.

#5

sudo is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

or, if ran into Ming:

sh.exe": sudo: command not found

as far as I understand, there is no sudo for windows 8, so the equivalent of it would be: “Run as administrator”? Please correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you.

later edit: apparently, I was wrong. there are a few solutions: sudowin and elevate. sudowin adds a sudo command to the shell and elevate provides similar functionality as sudo. I’ll try installing and get back here

#6

sudowin wasn’t the answer, but after a bit of digging i found the root: even though wamp said it is, openssl was not active. apparently, it’s a known bug of wamp 2.4/32bit (it doesn’t modify the correct php.ini). after enabling openssl everything worked as expected.

thank you for your time.

This reply will help future users. In case of “npm install” be failed so you can use “npm install -g bower”.
