When I execute a bower search query, I bower search the following:

 bower s jquery bower retry Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/search/jquery failed with ETIMEDOUT, retrying in 1.8s bower retry Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/search/jquery failed with ETIMEDOUT, retrying in 4.0s bower retry Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/search/jquery failed with ETIMEDOUT, retrying in 4.2s bower retry Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/search/jquery failed with ETIMEDOUT, retrying in 10.3s bower retry Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/search/jquery failed with ETIMEDOUT, retrying in 26.6s bower ETIMEDOUT Request to https://registry.bower.io/packages/search/jquery failed: ETIMEDOUT 

node -v 6.11.3 , npm -v 3.10.10 , bower -v 1.8.2 , macos high sierra

When installing packages the same situation.

    Look here, there are tips on a similar issue: Bower install - failed with ETIMEDOUT - Denis Bubnov
  • @DenisBubnov can you tell me where to look for the .bowerrc file and what to do with the proxy? - reactor
  • I think that the .bowerrc file should be in the current working directory, see here: Bower can be configured using JSON in a .bowerrc file . And also just look here, what and how it works : Bower manages . Pay attention to the entry: Bower requires node, npm and git. - Denis Bubnov
  • @DenisBubnov, that's why I don’t go to bower.io - reactor
  • @DenisBubnov via vpn enters the site - reactor
