Bower doesn&#x27;t do anything npm doesn&#x27;t already do, except horrible version management.<p><pre><code>    bower install lodash =&gt; bower_components&#x2F;lodash&#x2F;dist&#x2F;lodash.min.js

     npm install lodash =&gt; node_modules&#x2F;lodash&#x2F;dist&#x2F;lodash.min.js
</code></pre>
Only difference there is you use `node_modules` instead of `bower_components` for root directory.
