Thanks for reporting.
You may have a permission issue. It's better to install packages without sudo.

See: https://github.com/sindresorhus/guides/blob/master/npm-global-without-sudo.md

Currently bower-browser is designed for user command.
But I'm planning to support broad environment, or notify a message before the error.

This is definitely a permission error 😄, tried it our on windows this morning and everything was working fine.

My guess would be that everybody will have this problem who didn't bother to change the npm global directory to a user accessible one on OSX and *nix systems.

They can solve this in a few ways:

• Set a new global directory for npm
• change the permissions for the current npm global and bin folders to allow sudo less access

Hi! I've released bower-browser v0.3.0 and this version supports npm install with sudo. 😆
