I have seen this error before and had problems running npm install via '-g'. Check the owner and read/write access for your bower cache directory.

The workaround I had found working for me was to not use -g option but install scripted into my own ~/node_modules instead. Like this:

     cd ~
     mkdir node_modules
     npm install https://github.com/scripted-editor/scripted/tarball/master

Then you also have to add the ~/node_modules/bin directory to your path to be able to run scr commands from the commandline.

I beleave this is a bug in bower and it is most likely fixed in a later version of bower. But you should be able to use the workaround until we can update the bower version that scripted uses.
