I'm not sure why Bower is failing. Bower was recently deprecated I think. You could probably rework it so it uses npm instead of Bower and it'd work.

Was Bower initially used to accomplish something npm had difficuly with? I will dingle with it tonight.

[seiyria]

It was used way back when, when bower was for frontend and npm was for backend. Way before the times of things like webpack, etc. So, it's mostly irrelevant now, but I haven't worked on this since I failed to monetize it a few years back so here it sits. Good luck.

Is no one able to commit a fix?
Thanks

[Muirrum]

@makayabou it works with npm 6.9.5, try using NVM? I'm going to make a PR to use yarn as soon as I can verify it all works

[seiyria]

I will not accept a PR to use Yarn.

[Muirrum]

Why not? Bower's been deprecated, and they recommend using yarn.

[seiyria]

I don't care what bower recommends. If anything comes through, I would accept a PR to move all the dependencies to npm.

The problem is that this project is:

• not something I work on
• outdated
• needs a new build pipeline

So if this were to change, it should move to webpack + npm, fixing the build process and having a better dependency lock.
