NgCordova bower error - any ideas how to fix it?

I tried to make sure that I am using the latest version, since my ngCordova media plugin is not working for any reason.

I get this error:

npm WARN locking Error: EACCES, open '/Users/SubjectiveEffect/.npm/_locks/bower-e8debc5417026b57.lock' npm WARN locking at Error (native) npm WARN locking /Users/SubjectiveEffect/.npm/_locks/bower-e8debc5417026b57.lock failed { [Error: EACCES, open '/Users/SubjectiveEffect/.npm/_locks/bower-e8debc5417026b57.lock'] npm WARN locking errno: -13, npm WARN locking code: 'EACCES', npm WARN locking path: '/Users/SubjectiveEffect/.npm/_locks/bower-e8debc5417026b57.lock' } npm ERR!

I do not know how to fix this.

Any ideas?

Edit: I cleaned, removed, and reinstalled a bit. I get this error when I try to install bower install ngCordova

 "bower cached git://github.com/driftyco/ng-cordova.git#0.1.12-alpha bower validate 0.1.12-alpha against git://github.com/driftyco/ng-cordova.git#* bower ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads git://github.com/driftyco/ng-cordova.git", exit code of #69 Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo. Additional error details: Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo."

But if I try to run it using sudo, they told me:

 "bower ESUDO Cannot be run with sudo Additional error details: Since bower is a user command, there is no need to execute it with superuser permissions. If you're having permission errors when using bower without sudo, please spend a few minutes learning more about how your system should work and make any necessary repairs."

Any ideas?

This error indicates problems with obtaining the Xcode / iOS license agreement, which is a dependency of Cordova (for iOS emulation to work).

I assume that Xcode already has npm / bower installed, you just need to open it for the first time (Cmd-Space, then enter Xcode ) to accept the license agreement and then restart bower install ngCordova .

If Xcode is not already installed, it is probably less of a hassle to install it manually (see here for more details), open it once and repeat bower install ngCordova .

BTW, ilj is right, it is usually bad practice to run npm or bower under sudo. This leads to all kinds of worms.

bower complains that you are running it as root, which is usually bad practice. you need to run it as "bower --allow-root".

I had the same problem with Ionic. The reason is that xCode has been upgraded to a newer version and I have not accepted the conditions or started it after the upgrade.

Just open xCode and try again.
