Third party packages, libraries or plugins can be added to your project for additional features and functionality.

Installing New Packages

New packages can be added to your project via Bower or NPM.

Bower Example

                            
                                bower install example-package --save-dev
                            
                        

This command does the following:

• installs example-package into the bower_components directory at the project root.
• saves example-package as a project dependency in bower.json

the bower_components directory is created during initial set up.

NPM Example

                            
                                npm install example-package --save-dev
                            
                        

This command does the following:

• installs example-package into the node_modules directory at the project root.
• saves example-package as a project dependency in package.json

the node_modules directory is created during initial set up.

After installation you will need to follow the directions for each package in order to set up within your project. These can usually be found in the README file.
