Support bower install about office-ui-fabric-core

[Jahnp]

Yes! We absolutely plan to do this--both in Bower and NPM eventually. Initially we'll do this manually, but the plan is to use Travis to automate the deployment and publish process.

In the meantime, you can actually still install Fabric via Bower by linking directly to the repo:

bower install ‘git://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-UI-Fabric#1.0.0’

And in bower.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "Office-UI-Fabric": "git://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-UI-Fabric#1.0.0"
  }
}

Does this help? Thanks!

My newness to bower is showing. I didn't realize you could specify a repository directly. Works great. Thanks!

To pile on, if you use this method to only include the compiled CSS, you can add the following to your .gitignore to commit the compiled CSS in that release to your source.

!bower_components/
bower_components/*
!bower_components/Office-UI-Fabric/
bower_components/Office-UI-Fabric/*
!bower_components/Office-UI-Fabric/dist/
bower_components/Office-UI-Fabric/dist/*
!bower_components/Office-UI-Fabric/dist/css/

You can see how I've referenced it in my bower.json & how I've setup my .gitignore file so that I only have the compiled CSS committed to my source: https://github.com/ngOfficeUIFabric/officeuifabric.github.io/tree/master/bower_components/Office-UI-Fabric/dist/css

Alright, installing by Bower and NPM should work now. Try running npm i office-ui-fabric or bower i office-ui-fabric and let us know if there any kinks. Thanks!

Worked great! Thanks.

Awesome! I'll go ahead and close this, then. Cheers!
