When I upgrade a version in bower.json from say 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 and run bower install it doesn't actually install the new version. I can run bower install -f but that re-installs all packges.
Can I make bower install only when necesary?

So this could help:
bower update --save <package-name>

I am trying to install progressbar.js into my rails app.
I run bower install progressbar.js
And the terminal puts out:
bower progressbar.js#* cached https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/progressbar.js.git#1.0.1
bower progressbar.js#* validate 1.0.1 against https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/progressbar.js.git#*
The files are not put into the app. When I run bower list, it has:
progressbar.js#1.0.1 extraneous
How do I install this? Other times I run bower install, it has worked no problem.
I'm trying to install Angular2 with Bower with command bower install -S angular2 and have next messages in console:
$ bower install -S angular2
bower angular2#* cached git://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#1.4.8
bower angular2#* validate 1.4.8 against git://github.com/angular/bower-angular.git#*
bower angular#~1.4.8 install angular#1.4.8
angular#1.4.8 bower_components/angular
My bower.json file now contains next info in dependencies section:
"dependencies": {
"angular": "angular2#~1.4.8"
}
And I have Angular 1.4.8 after that in bower_components path.
So, how to install Angular2 beta with Bower?
I have installed it from github with the command bower install git#github.com:angular/angular.git:
$ bower install git#github.com:angular/angular.git
bower angular#* not-cached git#github.com:angular/angular.git#*
bower angular#* resolve git#github.com:angular/angular.git#*
bower angular#* checkout 2.0.0-build.ffbcb26.js
bower angular#* invalid-meta angular is missing "main" entry in bower.json
bower angular#* invalid-meta angular is missing "ignore" entry in bower.json
bower angular#* resolved git#github.com:angular/angular.git#2.0.0-build.ffbcb26.js
bower angular#~2.0.0-build.ffbcb26.js install angular#2.0.0-build.ffbcb26.js
angular#2.0.0-build.ffbcb26.js bower_components/angular
I advise you not to use Bower. Bower is used to get your packages in your project folder, that's it.
Try to look up JSPM (http://jspm.io). It does a lot more than getting packages in your project. It takes care of ES6 to ES5. And loads all your packages in one time using SystemJS in your browser with just a couple lines of code.
you can install jspm using npm:
npm init
npm install (-g) jspm // -g only if you want jspm globally installed
jspm init
This worked for me, for Angular 2 bower install angular2-build
I want to uninstall my - time picker which is - "bootstrap-timepicker": "~0.3.0" (in bower.json) and I guess its overlapping - "bootstrap-ui-datetime-picker": "~1.2.1", which I need.
I tired the uninstall command and it just did the following:
$ bower uninstall bootstrap-timepicker
bower uninstall bootstrap-timepicker
bower uninstall autotype
So how can I really uninstall and remove dependency from bower.json?
$ bower uninstall bootstrap-timepicker --save

I have package bootstrap-calendar
In bower.json it is version 0.2.0-RC and I even updated it to 0.2.0. But no matter what when you run
$> bower install bootstrap-calendar
it attempts to install version 0.0.9 which is earliest version. I cleaned cache but no success. What can I do that on bower install command latest package would be installed?
I don't think this is anything you are doing incorrectly. The package installs for me as 0.0.9 and the js file is listed as 0.1. I think the package is just not correct and needs to be mentioned on the issues section of Github, which I did.
