Bower error: UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE failed

Question

I got errors, as in the following, when I tried to install jquery using bower.

bower install jquery --save

bower error Request to https://bower.herokuapp.com/packages/jquery failed: UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE

Please help thanks.

Answer 1

I had this problem because bower was unable to correctly verify the ssl signature (due to our network). I added this to the .bowerrc file and solved the problem:

 { "strict-ssl": false }
