I tried that too before posting, but unsuccessful:
MyMac:myproj1 SM$ bower install driftyco/ionic-bower#1.2.1-nightly-1867 bower not-cached git://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower.git#1.2.1 bower resolve git://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower.git#1.2.1 bower not-cached git://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower.git#1.2.1-nightly-1867 bower resolve git://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower.git#1.2.1-nightly-1867 bower download https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower/archive/v1.2.1-nightly-1867.tar.gz bower extract ionic-bower#1.2.1-nightly-1867 archive.tar.gz bower invalid-meta ionic is missing "ignore" entry in bower.json bower resolved git://github.com/driftyco/ionic-bower.git#1.2.1-nightly-1867 bower ENORESTARGET No tag found that was able to satisfy 1.2.1
What are we doing differently? Here is my system info:

Me too!.. (as you can see from the commands below, I am on Windows)…
