Sometimes it times out on angular-animate, sometimes on bootstrap, sometimes on something else. What's wrong?

Sounds like you have a flaky connection to github...

[pmichna]

I'm new to AngularJS, node.js and npm. Any way to do manually what needs to be done?

[petebacondarwin]

Hi @pmichna.

Angular phonecat uses bower to retrieve its dependencies including AngularJS, from github.

The problem is that from where you are the connection to the github servers is not being very reliable. Github is a separate service, not controlled by AngularJS or bower.

It is hard to know what the problem is. It could be a transient issue that will go away if you try again later. It may be that you have some kind of firewall that is intermittently blocking connections.

[pmichna]

Ok, I contacted IT support in my company. However, that's strange. I can normally ping github.com, I can do git clone from GitHub repositories. I can't understand what could be wrong then.

[pmichna]

The problem was that bower tried to retrieve packages through git:// protocol, which seems to be blocked at my machine.

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// solved the problem.

[petebacondarwin]

Excellent. Glad you worked it out. Well done.

[karthigb]

Thanks @pmichna I was having the same problem 👍

[maximeberthelot]

Thanks ! It resolve now !

[gregory]

awesome! Indeed this issue happened to me cause i was behind firewall restriction on protocols :)

[deepaksinghvi]

Thanks, its very helpful.

[zckrs]

👍

[alexandremaeda]

Thanks, solved for me!

[DerGitHubUser]

git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// worked here too. Seeing I'm new to Node, Git and the rest , this was a great find.

Thank you.
