Bower is a package manager for the web. It 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.). -- Bundle Features -- This bundle works without Node.js and Git installations, so you can use js-restore on any build server (including cloud TFS) and don't commit external js files.
Bower is a package manager for client-side JavaScript. It is platform independent (unlike NuGet, gem or npm) works with bare Git repositories, and because of this - largely supported in JavaScript community. That's why Bower becomes a standard client-side package manager on all platforms.
Bower cmd is installed into .bin dir in your project, along with Node.js cmd. NuGet rules are the same: everything deployed by NuGet, so use package restore and ignore packages in VCS.
Node.js and Git is not needed to be installed on dev machines or build servers.
Use ".bin\bower" command to run Bower in your build scripts. For example, here is a simple MsBuild target to restore Bower packages defined in bower.json:
Because ".bin" was added to your PATH, you should be able to run Bower directly in the command prompt from the project dir. For example, if "MySite.Web" is a project dir:
D:\Projects\MySite\MySite.Web> bower install requirejs
Note: add ".bin" to the PATH manually for other developers in your team. Note: if PATH was changed, restart your command prompt to refresh environment variables.
If Bower should use a proxy for remote connections, set 'HTTP_PROXY' and/or 'HTTPS_PROXY' environment variables to the proxy URL. For Node.js delivered via NuGet, edit "~/.bin/node.cmd" file:
SET HTTP_PROXY=http://1:1@127.0.0.1:8888
SET HTTPS_PROXY=http://1:1@127.0.0.1:8888
where "http://1:1@127.0.0.1:8888" is the proxy at "127.0.0.1:8888" with username "1" and password "1" used for authentication.
