Bower

Bower

Bower is a package manager for the web. Bower can manage components that contain HTML, CSS, JavaScript, fonts or even image files. Bower is optimized for the front end. If multiple packages depend on a package - jQuery for example - Bower will download jQuery just once. This is known as a flat dependency graph and it helps reduce page load.

Install Bower

Bower is a command line utility. Install it with npm.

    npm install -g bower

Install Packages
