Cannot Install Kendo UI from Bower
Updated on Dec 10, 2025
Environment
| Product | Progress® Kendo UI® for jQuery |
| NodeJS | 7.10.0 |
| NPM | 4.2.0 |
| Bower Version | 1.8.0 |
Description
I use Git Credential Manager. After it prompts for my username and password, Bower authentication fails with the Authentication failed error message, and I am not able to install Kendo UI.
Solution
Use a bower.json file with the credentials as part of the URL. Encode both the password and the credentials.
js
/*
Actual Username: jdoe@missingpersons.com
Encoded Username: jdoe%40missingpersons.com
Actual Password: $password!
Encoded Password: %24password%21
*/ As a result, the bower.json file reads https://[EncodedUsername]:[EncodedPassword]@bower.telerik.com/bower-kendo-ui.git#~2017.1.118.
js
"dependencies": {
"kendo-ui":"https://jdoe%40missingpersons.com:%24password%21@bower.telerik.com/bower-kendo-ui.git#~2017.1.118"
}
