would like to ask around what is the cause that when I try to run npm install in command prompt and it keeps showing me such error?

I've check with all the folders and ensure necessary permissions is given to all folders and I'm also running command prompt in administrator mode.

Please if anyone can provide me with some assistance. Thank you.

Are you able to access the uri below?

git://github.com/scottjehl/Respond.git

The error response in your question points to bower ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github .com/scottjehl/Respond.git", exit code of #128

    put in your browser. Actually, please run this command in your command prompt. This will tell if you are able to access the git repo. You should have git installed on your machine to run this. "git clone git://github.com/scottjehl/Respond.git" – Shaan Feb 18 '15 at 01:54
