Error installing Bower (ERR! tar.unpack untar error)
I get this error when trying to install Bower. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? I also have 4707 lines of npm-debug.log file if needed...
Thanks!
This is a dump from the terminal when trying to install Bower locally, but I get the same error trying globally.
