title: Correct Way to Add Bower Location to $PATH Variable?
body: <p>I'm trying to install a Foundation 5 project on OS X 10.10. I have installed Bower, but when installing the Foundation project (i.e. foundation new my-project-folder), it returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Can't find bower. You can install it by running: sudo npm install -g bower
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>locate bower</code> returns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Users/[username]/..
  .cache/..
  .local/share/..
  .npm/..
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The only path currently in .bash_profile is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>echo $PATH</code> returns:     </p>
  
  <pre><code>/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It appears that this is insufficient for finding Bower.</p>
  
  <p>Can this issue be resolved by adding:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PATH=/usr/local/share:$PATH
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to .bash_profile? Is there a better approach?</p>
  
  <p>Why would Bower not be findable after installing it (i.e. <code>npm install -g bower</code>)?'</p>
  
  <p>It may be relevant that I just upgraded from Mountain Lion. I did so because it uses Ruby 1.8+, and Foundation requires Ruby 1.9+. I tried Homebrew while still on Mountain Lion, but this created a hot mess, so the OS upgrade seemed like the cleanest approach. </p>
