Bower package not downloading #593

Hi,

When i download the package with bower, it prints the following message at the end of the log:
bower no-json No bower.json file to save to, use bower init to create one

And the library does not download, any idea?

Thanks.

@afboteros can you share the log and check the version of bower you are using?

I just tested and I don't see that error:

$ mkdir bower
$ cd bower
$ bower --version
1.8.0
$ bower install js-xlsx

Sorry, i was running bower command with --save in a folder without bower.json, it's working ok. Thanks.
