About

JavaScript, fonts, and images.
It uses a flat dependency tree, installs packages from 
Git, tracks dependencies, supports hooks for build tools, and although still maintained, the Bower team recommends using Yarn for new front-end projects.
Npm is a JavaScript package manager bundled with 
Node.js.
It provides access to a registry of over 3 million packages, supports semantic versioning and dependency resolution, generates a lockfile for reproducible installs, offers script automation, and includes built-in commands for auditing known vulnerabilities.
