Bower offers a generic, unopinionated solution to the problem of **front-end package management**, while exposing the package dependency model via an API that can be consumed by a more opinionated build stack. There are no system wide dependencies, no dependencies are shared between different apps, and the dependency tree is flat.

Bower runs over Git, and is package-agnostic. A packaged component can be made up of any type of asset, and use any type of transport (e.g., AMD, CommonJS, etc.).

**View complete docs on [bower.io](http://bower.io)**

[View all packages available through Bower's registry](http://bower.io/search/).

## Install

```sh
$ npm install -g bower
```

Bower depends on [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) and [npm](http://npmjs.org/). Also make sure that [git](http://git-scm.com/) is installed as some bower
packages require it to be fetched and installed.

## Usage

See complete command line reference at [bower.io/docs/api/](http://bower.io/docs/api/)

### Installing packages and dependencies

```sh
# install dependencies listed in bower.json
$ bower install

# install a package and add it to bower.json
$ bower install <package> --save

# install specific version of a package and add it to bower.json
$ bower install <package>#<version> --save
```

### Using packages

We discourage using bower components statically for performance and security reasons (if component has an `upload.php` file that is not ignored, that can be easily exploited to do malicious stuff).

The best approach is to process components installed by bower with build tool (like [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) or [gulp](http://gulpjs.com/)), and serve them concatenated or using a module loader (like [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org/)).

### Uninstalling packages

To uninstall a locally installed package:

```sh
$ bower uninstall <package-name>
```

### prezto and oh-my-zsh users

On `prezto` or `oh-my-zsh`, do not forget to `alias bower='noglob bower'` or `bower install jquery\#1.9.1`

### Never run Bower with sudo

Bower is a user command; there is no need to execute it with superuser permissions.

### Windows users

To use Bower on Windows, you must install
[Git for Windows](http://git-for-windows.github.io/) correctly. Be sure to check the
options shown below:

Note that if you use TortoiseGit and if Bower keeps asking for your SSH
password, you should add the following environment variable: `GIT_SSH -
C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin\TortoisePlink.exe`. Adjust the `TortoisePlink`
path if needed.

### Ubuntu users

To use Bower on Ubuntu, you might need to link `nodejs` executable to `node`:

```
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
```

## Configuration

Bower can be configured using JSON in a `.bowerrc` file. Read over available options at [bower.io/docs/config](http://bower.io/docs/config).
