Answer 1

I had the same issue, here's what worked in my case:

1. Installed ruby and compass (yeoman needs these)
2. Verified that path to Ruby bin folder is added to %PATH%
3. Installed Git
4. Restarted cmd window and ran "bower install" in the app folder

After that, grunt serve command worked perfectly. Note: maybe installing Git and running bower install would suffice in your case.

My answer follow this article: What is causing 'grunt serve' to throw 'No Bower components found'?

Answer 2

Try running bower update && npm install in your app directory if that does not fix it post all your Gruntfile.js

Answer 3

Check if you have .bowerrc file in your project root directory. This file points bower where to store the packages when you run bower install.

Answer 4

try removing anything in cwd in wiredep section of your Grutfile.js

wiredep: {
      options: {
        cwd: ''
      },
      app: {
        src: ['<%= yeoman.app %>/index.html'],
        ignorePath:  /\.\.\//
      }
