Hi I use uberspace and installed ghost there. Ghost uses npm.

If I try:

npm install -g bower

It doesn't install it and throws a lot of erros messages what makes sense because the server is shared between many users. sudo npm install -g bower Tells me that it doesn't know bower

If I install it locally with

npm install bower

It installs it to ../node_modules. But using for example

bower install angular-mailchimp

Throws the error: -bash: bower: command not found

How do I get it running?

I was able to get Bower installed in the correct place by prefixing the global install with the following command.

npm install -g --prefix=$HOME bower
