title: What's the easiest way to download DataTables?
body: <p>I was looking at <a href="https://datatables.net/manual/installation" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://datatables.net/manual/installation</a> on the various methods to install <code>DataTables</code> and the one using <code>bower</code> looked the simplest to me. So I tried installing bower first using <code>npm</code> </p>
  
  <pre><code>npm install bower
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I got these warnings:</p>
  
  <pre><code>npm WARN deprecated bower@1.8.4: We don't recommend using Bower for new projects. Please consider Yarn and Webpack or Parcel. You can read how to migrate legacy project here: https://bower.io/blog/2017/how-to-migrate-away-from-bower/

  + bower@1.8.4
  added 1 package and removed 1100 packages in 14.042s
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Finally the above step did NOT instal <code>bower</code> and when I ran bower to install datatbles:</p>
  
  <pre><code>bower install --save datatables.net 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-bash: bower: command not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was wondering if <code>bower</code> is deprecated and been replaced by <code>yarn</code>, then why does the <code>datatables</code> website show instructions on how to install the same using <code>yarn</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Any tips on the way to install DataTables using the minimum number of steps?</p>
