bower TypeError无法读取未定义的属性“链接”

Question

I am having an issue with bower install --save , when running the command it looks as though it is trying to install an empty string as a package, the output is as follows with the stack trace:

bower jquery                    extra-resolution Unnecessary resolution: jquery#~2.1.4
bower                                      error Cannot read property 'linked' of undefined

Stack trace:

I'm new to bower and this project. I run bower after npm install (I'm not sure if that's relevant). Please let me know if I can provide additional information.

Thank you!

Answer 1

This was a user error. Being new to Bower, I did not understand that when it asks to clarify a suitable version for a package, you should use the list number on the options provided - not the version number you want! (see image)

So, for Answer I typed in 2.17 when I should have just used 5

That's embarassing...
