21 error You can get information on how to open an issue for this project with:
21 error     npm bugs theme
21 error Or if that isn't available, you can get their info via:
21 error
21 error     npm owner ls theme
21 error There is likely additional logging output above.

npm install bower -g на отлично прошел

Это вы установили bower глобально.
Для запуска шаблона, вам наверняка нужно:
1) npm install
2) bower install
3) далее, то что написано в доке, может быть gulp build, например.
