Any way to install polymer-ui element without creating another bower_components folder?

[mkea...@google.com]

For whatever reason, when I try and install a polymer-ui element in my project at the top level, hoping it will just appear in the bower_components folder, nothing happens. Things just stall.

But if I go inside the bower_components folder and do the install, I get the element but it's in a nested bower_components folder.

Any idea how to install the ui elements without having to create this nested folder?

Not sure what's going on, but you could try deleting your bower_components folder and re-running `bower install`. Just make sure you don't have anything of your own in bower_components.

I've been having the same problem off and on for a week or so. Bower just hangs on `bower install` without printing anything to the terminal and uses 100% of one of my cores. I got around it by manually adding the entry I want into my bower.json dependencies and running `bower update` instead. For some reason that works fine.

I've experienced the same thing recently. I usually just nuke my bower_components folder and reinstall.

Mat have you seen bower hang on `bower install` or know what could be causing this?
