Bower is a package manager for web developers.
Bower is a super-low-level tool for managing your dependencies. However, it’s convenient: typing ‘bower install jquery’ will download jQuery to a specified path, etc.
Bower runs on Node and isn’t restricted to loading JavaScript packages — it also allows easily installing assets such as images and CSS.
While similar tools already exist, Bower remains a more accessible, first come, first serve-based tool that in theory should save you a lot of time.
