Error: File to import not found or unreadable: bootstrap/variables.

Hey everyone,

Having an issue getting my subtheme to work properly after running Gulp.

After creating my sub theme via Drush, running 'npm run setup'

I get thrown this error.

"[17:44:44] gulp-notify: [Gulp] Error: assets/scss/akdata.style.scss
Error: File to import not found or unreadable: bootstrap/variables.
       Parent style sheet: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/akdata/themes/akdata/assets/scss/akdata.style.scss
        on line 8 of assets/scss/akdata.style.scss
>> @import "bootstrap/variables";"

Update: No bower_components directory is being created.

Steps taken after initial:

1. rm -rf node_modules; rm -rf bower_components; npm install; bower install
2. npm run setup
