i'm trying to install bower via npm but nothing to happend when i run this command as root :

sudo npm  bower -g install

i get this in my console :

Usage: npm

where <command> is one of:
    access, adduser, bin, bugs, c, cache, completion, config,
    ddp, dedupe, deprecate, dist-tag, docs, edit, explore, get,
    help, help-search, i, init, install, install-test, it, link,

Specify configs in the ini-formatted file:

It is: npm install -g bower. In your case you may preface it with sudo.

Edit: The reason you see that npm output is because you're trying to run 'bower' as an npm command ('bower' is not an npm command), rather than running 'install' with bower as an option.

To install dependencies from bower.json go to your project folder and run bower install.
