You need to update the version of bower included with generator-restangular to at least 1.3.8 (this is a bug that's actually in bower). I couldn't get it to work by running the npm update command. On Windows open a command prompt in

C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\generator-restangular\node_modules

and run the following

npm uninstall bower
npm install bower@1.3.8

Then try running yo restangular from your desired scaffolding folder.

I am getting what I believe to be the same error, even with Bower 1.3.8 through 1.3.12.

Hi, same error with bower@1.4.1

[funkytaco]

It looks like @jamesallardice has abandoned this, as PR #4 (sitting since Dec. 2014) fixes this issue & the project was last updated two years ago. If this isn't going to be updated anymore at least unpublish from npm so somebody else can maintain this project.

[ealsedewilde]

Had the same problem but I've got it to work with bower 1.7.9
