We use Bower to manage front-end dependencies. cd to the directory where bower.json is stored and run:

  • First we have to install npm and nodejs. Run the following: sudo apt-get install npm

  • Then run the following command to get Bower: sudo npm install -g bower

  • Finally run the following command to install the dependencies from bower.json:

bower install

Note: If you are working from within a proxied network of an organization/institute, Bower might not be able to install the libraries. For that, we need to configure .bowerrc to work via proxy.

  • Open .bowerrc in any text editor like vim. Run: vim .bowerrc
  • The contents of .bowerrc will be something like this:
{
	"directory": "app/static/admin/lib"
}
  • Modify the file to add "proxy" and "https-proxy" properties like this:
{
	"directory": "app/static/admin/lib",
	"proxy": "http://172.31.1.23:8080",
	"https-proxy": "http://172.31.1.23:8080"
}
  • Save and exit. Now we can run bower install to install our libraries.
