As was noted in a comment, this was raised as [an issue at github](http://github.com/bower/bower/issues/1102). At the end of that issue there&#39;s reference to a minor note at the end of the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/bower/bower/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#130---2014-03-10) comments:

&gt; _NOTE_: It&#39;s advisable that users use `--config.interactive=false` on automated scripts.

You can create a `~/.bowerrc` file, which is useful when using bower to install components in a Docker environment:

    {
      &quot;interactive&quot;: false
    }

Another option is setting an environment variable ([source](http://bower.io/docs/api/#running-on-a-continuous-integration-server)):

    export CI=true

It seems that you could use 

    bower --config.analytics=false install

to disable **only** Analytics question.

@see https://github.com/bower/bower/pull/1470

In addition to the existing answers, note that when you are running bower from grunt (e.g. with `grunt bower-install-simple`, you&#39;ll have to add this not into any .bowerrc file, but into the Gruntfile.js. I recently added this line to prevent our CI getting stuck due to unresolvable dependencies:

&lt;!-- language:javascript --&gt;

     grunt.initConfig({
         ...,
         /**
          * Downloads and installs library dependencies via bower
          * defined in bower.json.
          */
         &#39;bower-install-simple&#39;: {
             options: {
                 ...,
    +            interactive: false
             }
         }
     });


General way to bypass input for most commands: `yes`.

    yes | bower install
    yes | grunt build

I&#39;ve created an application in Angular JS for downloading an Excel workbook through $http post.

In the below code I&#39;m passing the information in the form of JSON , and send it to the server REST web service (java) through an angular $http post. The web service uses the information from the JSON and produces an Excel workbook. In the response within the success body of $http post, I&#39;m getting binary data within that **data** variable, but don&#39;t know how to convert it and download as an Excel file.

Can anyone please tell me some solution for this for converting the binary to Excel file and download?

My code is as given below:

    $http({
            url: &#39;myweb.com/myrestService&#39;,
            method: &quot;POST&quot;,
            data: json, //this is your json data string
            headers: {
               &#39;Content-type&#39;: &#39;application/json&#39;
            }
        }).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
           
            // Here i&#39;m getting excel sheet binary datas in &#39;data&#39; 
    
        }).error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
           
        });

I&#39;m trying to set a git hash value into an environment variable, i thought it would be as simple as doing this:

    git log --oneline -1 | export GIT_HASH=$1


But the `$1` doesn&#39;t contain anything. What am I doing wrong?

Pipe output to environment variable export command

I&#39;m trying to set up an automated package build for an app which uses bower.  When it gets to bower install in the postinstall, bower prompts:

&gt; [?] May bower anonymously report usage statistics to improve the tool
&gt; over time? (Y/n)

This is screwing up the automated scripts.  I could write an expect script to deal with this but I&#39;d rather not if I don&#39;t have to.  Is there a way to get it to shut up?

I am using bower

    $ bower -v
    0.9.2

latest version of bower is 1.x.x
https://github.com/bower/bower/releases

I run to update bower to the latest version

    npm update -g bower 

this does not help

I still have 

    $ bower -v
    0.9.2



Problems updating bower to the latest version

I am creating my first Bower component. After running `bower init` the script asks me &#39;what types of modules does this package expose?&#39; with these options:

 - amd 
 - es6 
 - globals 
 - node

what is the difference between these options?

bower init - difference between amd, es6, globals and node

Can someone explain to me the difference between `NPM`, `Bower` and `Composer`.

They are all package managers - correct?

But when should each one be used?

Also, each one appears to have a json file that accompanies it, does this store all the packages you require so they can be installed by cmd line? Why do you need this file?

NPM/Bower/Composer - differences?

Sometimes it&#39;s useful to rebuild an entire site and force bower to reinstall new versions of all the packages in bower.json.

However, there doesn&#39;t seem to be any way of doing that:

### Attempt #1:

    $ bower uninstall
    bower not-installed 0

Nope, that only works on a package-by-package basis, even though a clean &#39;bower install&#39; uses bower.json. 

### Attempt #2:

    $ bower install -f -l 0
    $

Nope, despite &#39;-f&#39;, this does absolutely nothing if the dependencies are met.

### Attempt #3:

    $ rm -r bower_components
    $

! Ah victory! ... wait, what&#39;s this?

    rm: bower_components: No such file or directory

Oh darn, there&#39;s a .bowrc in this project that sets the directory to install things to.

### My current terrible solution:

Run custom script that:

    - Parse .bowerrc if one exists
    - Load the directory if one is specified in the json block
    - If the directory currently exists...
    - ...recursively delete the directory.

It works, I suppose, but it&#39;s pretty annoying to have to setup repeatedly.

Am I missing something?

Is there not just a simple bower command to delete the local installed modules?

Seems like really basic functionality I would expect bower uninstall to do.

(This isn&#39;t really a very javascript question, but I&#39;ll happily accept something that hooks into the bower module somehow to make this happen in a simple node script)

### Context

Edit: If you want &#39;motivation&#39; for such a task, it&#39;s this: We have a jenkins server that builds our projects and runs tests. However, periodically it fails for no obvious reason; investigating, it&#39;s almost *always* because jenkins is using a previous copy of the repository with just a git-pull to update to the most recent version before building and running tests; as a result, the previous bower_components directory is there, and it is full of cached copies of the various components.

Here a few example of things which are #@$@#$&#39;d and require bower to be run again as a forced install:

1) Some idiot (&gt;_&gt; fitvids) deletes the previous tagged release of a project.

2) Some project has dropped off of bower / moved its github page

3) Some project (&gt;_&gt; jquery) has changed the way the files are laid out in a non-major version revision.

I realize that the &#39;correct&#39; solution to this problem is: fix jenkins so it creates a new temporary directory for each build. ...but that&#39;s not in my control.

So, as a build step, I need to automate a way to delete the bower components and force them to all be reinstalled; either as a grunt task (part of the build) or a jenkins build step. However, remember from (3) above, that our projects use .bowerrc, so it&#39;s not as simple as simply deleting a folder.

It would be great if I could uninstall all the existing bower components as a pre-build step to make this work.

So... back to the question: Can this be done with bower?

How do you uninstall all your bower packages?

I am trying to install properly Twitter Bootstrap in my current ember-cli project.
I did install bootstrap with bower :

    bower install --save bootstrap
Now the library is downloded in */vendor/bootstrap/dist/(css|js|fonts)*
I tried what is mentioned here : http://ember-cli.com/#managing-dependencies
replacing path and css files names but I get errors regarding the *Brocfile.js* file. I think the brocfile format has changed too much compared to the example.

I also tried to @import  with the */app/styles/app.css* file after moving the stylesheets in the /app/styles/ directory :

    @import url(&#39;/assets/bootstrap.css&#39;);
    @import url(&#39;/assets/bootstrap-theme.css&#39;);
But it did not work. The files are visible true dev server : `http://localhost:4200/assets/bootstrap.css`

Can someone throw me a bone here ?

Thx
