What is Bower?
Bower is a package management software for websites and web applications. It uses a manifest file to keep track of which packages and their version numbers are installed on a website. Bower can also be used to install packages from predefined sources, so-called registries. An example of such a registry is bower.io, which is a central place to search and find packages. Compared to other package management software, Bower is easier to use and requires less configuration. It also allows installing packages from multiple sources, which can be useful if you want to keep track of packages from different projects.
