bower install | GutHub keeps asking for github username & password

[GRawatCoder]

I am struggling with this issue while installing bower install it keeps asking for github username and password everytime, does anyone has any idea or faces this issue ?

Error while installing -

It's because this repo/file doesn't exist anymore, probably.

Thanks sheerun. I found owl carousel doesn't exist anymore ob bower.

[GRawatCoder]

how do i install owl-carousel now ? do you have any suggestion ?

[sheerun]

maybe something like bower install OwlCarousel2/OwlCarousel2

[GRawatCoder]

updated the owl.carousel version mentioned in bower.json as ow.carousel 1.3.2 is not available on github repo which is why it keeps asking for github username and password.

I am getting the similar issue when I include blockUI in bower.json file. Git login popup is getting triggered and getting the following error message.

Error in plugin 'gulp-bower'

# bower install --allow-root --verbose
