bower show package dependencies tree before install - bower

Is it possible to get a list of package dependencies (as produced by bower list) before installing the packages?
bower install does not complete successfulfy in my project as some package has a dependency to a non existing package version, therefore I would like to be able to quickly find that package that has this incorrect dependency instead of having to inspect bower.json of every package.

You could try bower-dependency-tree. npm install -g bower-dependency-tree && bower-dependency-tree name_of_the_package_you_are_interested_in should do it.
disclosure: I am the maintainer of the project.

How to inspect package version installed in dockerfile

In my Dockerfile I run:
RUN pip install requests pandas sqlalchemy psycopg2
But how can I find the versions of these packages ? Is there some command line like :
pip list
You should always do version pinning, so specify the exact version number when you install a package (with any package manager) to have reproducable builds otherwise a package might have breaking changes and break your app on the next build.

Inform bower new plugin release

I've created an open source javascript plugin. It is located on github public repository. When I want to release new version, I'm doing it with github features. My plugin is also indexed in bower repository. How to inform bower, that I have released new version of plugin?
You can update any bower dependency using the "update" command. See below:
bower update <name>
Where is the name of your bower package/dependency.
However, this is assuming that the semvar range provided in the bower.json configuration file allows the installation of the new (versioned) plugin.
As it is authored by you, I doubt very much it would be an issue.
If the above command doesn't work, you can always un-install it and reinstall it as follows:
bower uninstall <name>
bower install <name> --save-dev //or --save, this depends on how you installed it earlier.

how do I specify the installation location of a bower package?

I'd like to use bower in install packages. I'd also like to have the packages in specific places. In particular, I'd like my javascript in '/js'.
You can set a custom directory for where you would like bower to install all the listed dependencies in the bower.json file. Here's a quick from bower's documentation of .bowerrc:
Custom install directory
A custom install location can be set in a .bowerrc file using the
directory property. The .bowerrc file should be a sibling of your
project's bower.json.
{
"directory": "public/bower_components"
}
One of the benefits of Bower is how simple it is. One of the main downfalls of Bower is how simple it is. I do not believe that bower supports setting custom install locations for each dependency. You may have to rely on another tool to do that.
Here's a similar Stack Overflow question about install bower dependencies to different folders. While bower itself is not able to do what you ask, there are a number of tools that add such functionality:
npm bower installer (using npm)
grunt bower task (using
grunt)
grunt bower organizer (using grunt)

MVC Nuget Installing Multiple Packages

I'm building a new solution/project. I copied all the files over and moved all the packages over to the packages folder. When I reference them via nuget, it says they are installed, but
they are not. If they were, I would see them in the installed tab.
First why does it say installed, next how can I install multiple packages at once, instead of
doing it individually. I have like 10+ packages I need to install. This is pain in
the ass, if I have to install each individually. We should be able to run a command that
checks to see if all the packages in the package folder have been installed, if not, install them. Is there a command for this?
Use nuget.exe for this. see following question and google search
nuget install packages.config
Or with NuGet 2.7 you can restore allpackages in the solution using the command line.
nuget restore YourSolution.sln

Make a Bower package using other Bower packages

I'm making a Bower package like Bootstrap but for my own projects. My Bower package is using some other Bower packages, so, I'd like to know how to register a Bower package using other bower packages ?

I guess you should read the bower.json file specification, and express your dependencies there.
