I am trying to install and use the Polymerfire <firebase-auth> element. But, apparently, I have not successfully installed all the dependencies like firebase-sdk, for example.

I tried using Bower command pattern used to install the other Polymer elements:

command line 
bower install --save polymerfire/firebase-auth

but, apparently, Polymerfire might not be setup for Bower and I received the following error.

fatal: remote error:
Repository not found.

As it stands now, I have the following dependencies listed in the Polymerfire bower.json file:

bower.json 
...
"dependencies": {
  "polymer": "Polymer/polymer#^1.2.0",
  "firebase-sdk": "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.0.0/firebase.js",
  "app-storage": "polymerelements/app-storage#~0.9.0"
},
...

But I do not, I repeat, I do not, have any firebase-sdk directory in my project's bower_components directory.

Please help me unravel this and correctly install all the necessary dependencies for Polymerfire (including firebase-sdk) into my Polymer project.

Edit

When I do the following command:

command line 
bower install --save polymerfire

It appears to work. However, when I check my bower_components directory, I still do not see any firebase-sdk subdirectory and I still get the same console error. Click here to see another question dealing with this error in more detail.

console.log

firebase-app.html:94
Uncaught ReferenceError: firebase is not defined

  • Given that the answer for both questions is exactly the same, why shouldn't they be marked as duplicates? – Frank van Puffelen Jun 07 '16 at 23:33

    @FrankvanPuffelen: Personally, I never thought the conclusion *two questions with the same answer must, therefore, be the same question* was logically correct. For example: What is 7 + 2? What is 3-squared? If I buy a dozen eggs and eat three, how many eggs would I have left? And which digit most closely resembles 6 turned upside down? Same answer. Different questions. In this case, I had to ask the second question to narrow the focus after I got a lead on the answer to the first. That said, I leave the answer to *your* question of possible duplication to the judgment of your wisdom, sir. – Let Me Tink About It Jun 08 '16 at 08:16
  • *sigh* You are right that many different questions can have the same answer, but this is not one of them. Closing... – Frank van Puffelen Jun 08 '16 at 15:04

bower install --save firebase/polymerfire

Note: bower install --save polymerfire points to DivShot's version which is now outdated.
