Error when running npm install at bower install

[Luke791]

I'm following AngularJS tutorial (https://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial) and running npm install I get the following error:

bower install

What is it caused by and how to solve it?

[Luke791]

Found the reason: proxy is blocking git application.

bower ECMDERR Failed to execute "git ls-remote --tags --heads https://git
ub.com/angular/bower-angular-animate.git", exit code of #128 fatal: unable to a
cess 'https://github.com/angular/bower-angular-animate.git/': Received HTTP cod
407 from proxy after CONNECT

Absurd how you can't follow the tutorial if you can't run git, uh? This is an Angular tutorial not a git tutorial right?

Yes, this is an AngularJS tutorial, but (as most web dev tutorials) has prerequisites. This one is specifically using git. We have a Common Issues section on the tutorial that might help you get your environment set up.

[Luke791]

If you have no control over which applications are blocked by the proxy there is no way the environment can be set up.

Sorry to hear that. Fortunately, even if you don't have access to a computer with the ability to clone github repositories, you can at least still follow the tutorial. You just won't be able to automatically check out the code for each step (but this is not necessary to follow the tutorial).
