Getting an EACCES error bower init

Trying to run 'bower init' on an assets folder I have on a small project. Trying to learn Sails.js framework but want bower to handle frontend configuration. Stack trace below. Already tried adjusting the access path but no luck. Any pointers in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Trace

$ bower init

There is nothing with Sails. You have issue with right in your system.

Try to run it with sudo command:

sudo bower init

But, better to fix issues with right to your folders which have the following issue with changing its owner with chmod command.
