BOWER BEHIND A PROXY OR FIRE WALL

To configure bower behind a proxy, create a ".bowerrc" file in root of your project.

{
  "directory": "bower_components",
  "registry": "http://bower.herokuapp.com",
  "proxy":"http://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<PROXY_IP>:<PROXY_PORT>/",
  "https-proxy":"http://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@<PROXY_IP>:<PROXY_PORT>/"
}
