I have no idea how to debug this. I'm new to frontend development. What could be wrong?

You can put suitable version of package in resolutions key of bower.json, as so:

"resolutions": {
  "angular": "1.3.0"
}

Bower installs all your requested dependencies in the same directory.

It also installs all of _their_ dependencies in the same directory.

If two modules each depend on a third module, but require different versions of that module that are incompatible, then bower will throw the ECONFLICT error.

For instance, if A requires C at version >2.0.0 and B requires C at version < 1.5.0, then there's no way for bower to resolve this and it throws that error.
