Changes 2/13/15 - Bower installation

In order to use the Firefox OS ui elements, I have to install this thing called bower, which I guess gives me all the resources I need.

First, I installed Node.js for windows.  Next, I used the npm package manager built into Node to install bower.  I then used bower (which is its own package manager) to install the resources mentioned in the firefox tutorials, such as this one.

Everything is installing just fine, but I don't know where the bower stuff is installing to, and so I can't get the css and other stuff into my project folder.

  1. I'm really hoping we can come up with a set up instructions (a "recipe" as I like to call these things) for setting up an FX OS development environment on Windows, MacOS, and Ubuntu. One problem with new and rapidly changing technologies like this is that even the way you go about doing that keeps changing, making web searches for an easy to follow set of steps difficult and frustrating.

    Once you are confident you've found the right way to get going, I'll commit to creating a web reference to share what you have learned.
