You should try to run this command as root. On Windows, start your CommandLine as administrator and under Mac or Linux use

sudo npm install -g bower

using sudo with node modules is discouraged. – Anam Nizami Feb 10 '18 at 17:02

Installing git and running npm install from git-bash worked for me. Make sure you are in the correct directory.

Refer more here for solution git is not installed or not in the PATH
