Cannot install via NPM

[antgonzales]

When I attempt to install with NPM, I'm prompted to install bower. I would rather not introduce bower as a dependency on my project.

npm install tether-select --save

> [email protected] install /Users/anthonygonzalez/src/glossier-v2/node_modules/tether-select
> bower install

sh: bower: command not found

here also. Very annoying

Does this happen because of line 13 in package.json?
