Problem during bower install

[MathRobin]

I have try the install of ui elements as indicated in the docs and i get this error :

bower polymer-ui-toggle-button#^0.3.0 ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/Polymer/polymer-ui-toggle-button.git", exit code of #128

Same thing with and without sudo. And with some other packages sometimes.

Can you run this command from your terminal:

git ls-remote --tags --heads git://
github.com/Polymer/polymer-ui-toggle-button.git

If that doesn't return some values then either Github is down or something
on your end is blocking it. Which version of bower are you using?

Make sure bower is updated and verify github is up per @robdodson's comment.

Please reopen the issue if the problem re-surfaces.

Hi, I'm trying to install Polymer on my Mac and have some errors. How can I fix it and install Polymer?

[robdodson]

I think this is the issue npm ERR! Permission denied (publickey).

Are you behind a corporate proxy or anything like that?

[kwijik]

No, I'm not sure, because I have exactly the same error from my home wifi.

[robdodson]

So you're doing npm install -g bower and getting the above error? What commands are you running?

[kwijik]

npm install -g bower gives just warning message:

npm WARN deprecated bower@1.8.0: ..psst! While Bower is maintained, we recommend yarn and webpack for new front-end projects! Please read our blog for more.
/usr/local/bin/bower -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/bin/bower
/usr/local/lib
└── bower@1.8.0 

P.S the problem is resolved, thank you

[robdodson]

That is all to be expected.

Glad you got it sorted :)
