For a more exotic take, where you are running as root in Docker and experiencing this, one should know that NPM is running as the owner of the current working directory. So in case you are root and does not work no matter what you try, try listing the files and see if they are owned by root. If not, it will never work, unless you change the ownership to root.

See this answer for the full explanation and references to source code in NPM.

You are facing access permissions error. Use sudo:

sudo bower install

EDIT: sudo does not seem to be working with bower install. This works for me though:

bower install --allow-root

This command should work . It provide permission to bower configration.

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config

and also give permission to folder by

sudo chmod -R 777 foldername

.
