I am trying out Google Polymer. Successfully installed node.js and as you can see below npm and Bower are installed. However, when typing "bower init cmd" it gives me the following error(s): What am I doing wrong and how to best solve this problem? Running Mac OS X (Mav) Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The solution to this, if you have similar situation like me, is that the configstore might be removed by one of your program for some reason.

In this case you can go to open your terminal and type:

open Users/[your username]/.config

[your username] should be your username. I assume it's shukhratnegmatov.

And then you create a folder called configstore!

Done.

Answer 2

我遇到了同样的问题，只需替换“用户名”即可

    $ sudo chown username /Users/username/.config/configstore/insight-bower.yml
