Answer 1

Why don't you try this Mean quick start that is made to run on OpenShift? https://hub.openshift.com/quickstarts/63-mean

Answer 2

Bower is usually used as a generator, to scaffold code locally (before you commit and push your changes). I don't think bower works correctly on OpenShift since it expects the $HOME dir to be writable.

I'd try doing this work locally, then commit and push the result.
