Locally installed bower and --packageDir

[MattAlex151]

Hi, I have a bit of an esoteric bug to report.
Imagine my folder structure as:

• package.json
• other
  • bower.json

package.json installs bower and check-dependencies as devDependencies for the project.
So, I run, back to back:

$(npm bin)/check-dependencies --verbose --install
$(npm bin)/check-dependencies --verbose --install --package-manager bower --packageDir other/

but, if no bower_components are currently installed, the second command fails:
/bin/sh: 1: bower: not found
Invoking bower install...
and proceeds to not install anything.

I then noticed, if I replace with:

$(npm bin)/check-dependencies --verbose --install --package-manager $(npm bin)/bower --packageDir other/

Then it can find it and properly installs all the packages.
However, if I then re-run, and bower_components have been installed, it'll tell me that every package is not installed. So if I return to our first command, $(npm bin)/check-dependencies --verbose --install --package-manager bower --packageDir other/ now that bower_components are installed, then it'll report the correct versions and everything.

Finally, my solution ends up being:

echo -e "\e[93m\e[1mChecking Bower Packages...\e[0m"
$(npm bin)/check-dependencies --verbose --install --package-manager bower --packageDir other/ || $(npm bin)/check-dependencies --verbose --install --package-manager $(npm bin)/bower --packageDir other/

So here, on first run (no bower_components) the first command fails, therefor invoking the second version. Once that's done, all subsequent runs work with the first version.

Like I said, a bit esoteric but I figured I'd report it anyway. Thanks for the package, earlier I had tried rolling my own with npm ls and it was unacceptably slow. This package saved me a lot of time and I appreciate it!
