I am trying to install bower on centos7, after installing nodejs. To install nodejs I follows these steps

Step1: wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.30/node-v0.10.30.tar.gz

Step2: tar xzvf node-v* && cd node-v*

Step3: sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++

Step4: ./configure

Step5: make

Step6: sudo make install

Step7: node --version

I had successfully installed nodejs, I follows this steps from Install Nodejs

Then install npm by running command sudo yum install npm.

Now I am trying to install bower So I run the following command npm install -g bower. But getting the following error. Please tell me how to install bower correctly.

try:

sudo yum update -y

sudo yum install -y epel-release gcc gcc-c++ git libtool-ll libtool-ltdl-devel lsof make unixODBC unixODBC-devel wget

sudo yum install -y nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel

sudo npm install -g node-gyp bower

Check your internet connectivity (Are you under a proxy?). It may need additional steps to solve internet issues.
