Bower install issue

When adding packages with Bower, I'm getting this error message every time I don't know how to resolve the issue?

I was trying to load font awesome or bower install by doing 

$ bower install --save font-awesome
$ bower install

but I'm getting this error: 

usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/lib/node_modules/configstore/index.js:54
                throw err;
                ^
    Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/brandonpowell/.config/configstore/bower-github.json'
    You don't have access to this file.

Check permissions of that file:

ls -laF ~/.config/configstore/bower-github.json

You've probably run bower as root user before. It should be enough to run:

sudo chown brandonpowell ~/.config/configstore/bower-github.json
