  <p>I read <a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IntroducingGulpGruntBowerAndNpmSupportForVisualStudio.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Scott Hanselman's post</a>, but it's not clear. I installed the plugins. Do I use the package manager console? Do I add bower as a package source?</p>
  
  <p>My project already has a package.json.</p>
  
  <p>If I open the VS command window and type bower, I receive the message: Command "bower" is not valid.</p>
