Remove bower from npm install

[hunterc]

Is there a reason bower is required for the npm module?

I don't use bower for anything else in my build process and would prefer to not have to install it when I just need the dist file.

Bower is listed as a dev dependency, you can instruct npm to not install dev dependencies.

Seems to still be an issue:

I got the same problem, I think Bower is not fine for this kind of case
