Bower install - failed with ETIMEDOUT

When I run bower install, I get the following error:

Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/jquery failed with ETIMEDOUT, retrying in 1.8s

But when I run the same URL in the address bar of Chrome, I get the json. I don't know why it fails when I do bower install using Windows 7 command shell. I suspect it has got something to do with my workplace's proxy settings.

Anyone?

Prod server build bower well, but the develop server does not build, it is stop with ETIMEDOUT. The error went through when I added:

"timeout": 120000

into .bowerrc.

Info from page https://bower.io/docs/config/ helped me.

I was also stuck with the same error. The following steps fixed the error for me:

  1. Remove any existing proxy: npm config delete proxy

Then set proxy using: npm config set proxy http://<host>:<port>

  1. You may also need to change the proxy settings for git:

    git config --global http.proxy http://<host>:<port>

  2. Now edit the .bowerrc file as described by Robert Moon

"proxy":"http://<host>:<port>", "https-proxy":"http://<host>:<port>", "strict-ssl": false

You need to set the new registry for bower in .bowerrc:

{
  "registry": "https://registry.bower.io"
}

The old url https://bower.herokuapp.com/ is no more available.

In my case (Win7), this problem was fixed by providing bower with the proxy settings.

As @Robert Moon mentioned in his answer, you can place this settings in the .bowerrc file.

For proxies that require authentication you will need to provide it as follows:

http://domain\username:password@proxyserverurl:port

The back slash is particularly tricky since it needs to be escaped in the .bowerrc file

Example .bowerrc:

{
  "directory": "bower_components",
  "proxy": "http://domain%5Cusername:password@proxyserverurl:port",
  "https-proxy": "http://domain%5Cusername:password@proxyserverurl:port",
  "no-proxy":"localserver.domain.com"
}

The official documentation from Bower that mentions proxy settings:

Try edit .bowerrc

"proxy":"http://<host>:<port>",
"https-proxy":"http://<host>:<port>",
"strict-ssl": false

Getting error related to proxy when no proxy is configured: May be npm is picking up proxy.

Delete the proxy attribute from npm config and try. Use:

npm config delete proxy

This solved my problem.

Have you tried something like http_proxy='proxyserver' https_proxy='proxyserver' bower install? (where proxyserver is your proxy)
