Bower install doesn't work good

Hello, I just saw that there is a bower install option in intel xdk.

I actually used it once, and installed the ionic-material library, and all went great, but now when i try to install something from bower again, it says that git is not installed and can't be found in the system path.

so i tried to install git again.....

and still i get the same error.

Is this a bug or is there any special way to make this work?  it worked before, so why did it stop?

any help would be welcome,

Thanks,

Shaul.

Hi!

Brackets-bower is an extension for brackets and it is available in XDK brackets catalog for a couple of releases ago. It is open source and maintained in Github. This behavior that you described may match with a bug reported on Github:

https://github.com/albertinad/brackets-bower/issues/45

Please, let me know if that is the same behavior that you are experiencing and we can continue on Github!. 

A couple of questions:

1 - Did you update the extension and then it started to show the git warning?

2 - Did you update XDK and you had previously installed the extension, and with the new XDK update it started to show the warning?

3 - Did you update/modify/uninstall git?

4 - Is git available in the system PATH?

Thanks!
