    System info:
    Bower version: 1.2.8
    Node version: 0.10.22
    OS: Darwin 13.0.0 x64

how can I get the permission to install it because i have tried with : sudo bower install jquery and sudo bower cache clean --allow-root it's still not working

tl;dr - Bower doesn't seem to be cleaning up after itself once installation is complete.

It's possible that you're encountering this issue: multi-user use fails due to permissions of /tmp/bower .

Although the issue was closed, it appears at least some users are still encountering it :

The same error persists in bower 1.2.8

System info: Bower version: 1.2.8 Node version: 0.10.22 OS: Linux 3.8.0-29-generic x64

Try clearing ~/.cache/bower manually to see if it resolves your issue.
