Lots of errors following this video.

The two big errors seem to be:

Error: \`libsass\` bindings not found. Try reinstalling \`node-sass\`?
Error: angular-animate is not installed. Try running \`bower install\`.

This is after cloning the git repo, trying to install Yeoman, and running Gulp to see what happens.

Here's what I did to resolve the problems for the most part:

Yeoman didn't seem to install correctly, so I followed what somebody else suggested and installed "yo" with this command: sudo npm install -g yo

Apparently this is "Yeoman Doctor" and it looked like everything was good after that.

Then I had to install "bower" manually: sudo npm install -g bower

After that, the bower install command worked properly.

Still "libsass" was having problems. I found somebody who recommended removing "gulp-sass" and installing a newer version:

npm uninstall --save-dev gulp-sass

npm install --save-dev gulp-sass@2

Finally after that running gulp finished a build.

Unfortunately, I could not figure out why the fonts were not being processed as shown in the video. It's a problem with the module "main-bower-files" that I couldn't figure out without digging way deeper into bower and the associated tools.

But you can bypass the problem by going to the gulp fonts task in build.js and replacing

'$.mainBowerFiles()'

with

'bower_components/**/*'

That glob will find all the files in the bower_components subfolders and pass them to be filtered by the next command.
