bower ENOTFOUND Package App States=bower.json not found
I don't know how or at what point this happened, but it happened to me and if you look inside your bower_components folder there maybe a folder called App States. I deleted this folder and I was able to do an install.
You have your bower config in bower.json file, right? You don't give the file as argument, it messes like you show.
So, type in the folder that holds the bower.json file only
bower installThat command will find the bower.json for you automatically.
In my case, the bower had created "App States" folder and after deleting the folder the error got resolved. After deleting the folder: execute
bower install --allow-root
This should fix the issue.
