You need to install testrpc globally on your system...

sudo npm install -g testrpc

I think you have to install testrpc globally to run it like this. Try running 

runas /noprofile /user:Administrator cmd 

and then:

npm install -g testrpc

 Or you can add the directory to your PATH:

  1. Right click
  2. My Computer' and go to Properties > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables.
  3. Double click on PATH under the 'User variables for Username' section, and add:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\testrpc
  4. Make sure to replace 'username' with your username.
  5. Restart your console window or IDE and you should get a response from the bower command.

Hope it helps
