You can follow the following recipe to install Bower onto a recent Ubuntu installation:
apt-get install npm
npm install -g bower
Now you can try running bower
You may get the following error:
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
This can be solved in using the following command:
ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
This is because the Ubuntu package is called nodejs instead of node, which is what bower expects.
Happy bowering!
