bash: bower: command not found, I have no idea what to do

Sorry to be the 1 million person creating a similar topic but I really read trough all the others and they didn't help me at all. I've tried setting the "path" correctly by doing: set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\ "Your username" \AppData\Roaming\npm. Regardless of my effort, it still doesn't work. I've tried reinstalling it and even reinstalling GIT on my main drive just to see if there will be a difference with the path but still zero. Here, I've pasted the output from my GIT prompt. If anyone has any ideas how to fix it, I'm open to suggestions.

$ npm install -g bower
D:\Programs\GIT\Git\usr\local\bower -> D:\Programs\GIT\Git\usr\local\node_mods\bower\bin\bower
[email protected] D:\Programs\GIT\Git\usr\local\node_modules\bower

It looks like you're using Git Bash. This command won't work for setting PATH:

PATH=%PATH%;C:\Users\ "Your username" \AppData\Roaming\npm

Try to write like this:

PATH="$PATH:/c/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/npm"

Or this might work too, but I cannot test it now:

PATH="$PATH:"'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\npm'

Also you're PATH is very long. I suggest to use a custom PATH, containing only the paths necessarily for Node.js development to reduce the noise and unexpected behavior.
