Error when starting Node Application - MEAN Stack

Question

I have started to create a Node js application using MEAN Stack so i have followed the steps in the following URL to intialize a node js Application using MEAN. Link

When i provide GRUNT or Started the Node js Application in Terminal, I am getting the following error.

events.js:72
    throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
          ^
    Error: ENOENT, open '/home/vigneshmoha/Documents/node/branding/public/system/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
    [nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...

npm version 1.4.15

Node js version v0.10.28

MongoDB version v2.6.1

I haven't changed anything else. Am i missing anything?

Yea, path doesn't exist. There is no 'lib' folder inside the public->system folder. How do i resolve this with adding the folders and files manually? Anyway i am not going to using Bootstrap Library. — Mohan Annasamy, Jun 15 '14 at 07:52

thanks, wierd that following the instructions as they have it doesn't work on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04, but after running these commands, and then passing ownership back to me, or the user that will be running the server, it works like a charm! – Tobias Hagenbeek Oct 24 '14 at 23:30

I just had the exact same problem (on Mac OS X 10.9). Running npm install without sudo fixed it. Seems like bower is causing some troubles when used with sudo.

This error might be also due to errors in your Nodejs application. Fix the errors. You might also need to install bower: npm install -g bower . tested on windows 10 and it worked.

Had the same issue., tried to delete node_modules, did npm install., but the scenario remained same.

On restarting the system, it seems to be back to normal.
