Bower
Bower, is a front-end package manager to fetch and install the dependencies declared via a simple API. The dependencies, declared in bower.json manifest are easily consumable by evolved build systems.
Prerequisites to use Bower are to install node, npm and git. In my case I installed msysgit (according troubleshooting) .The image below is my command-line check to verify the prerequisites are ok. .
