Where is .bowerrc file in a Yeoman generated Angular app?

Question

I'm looking through this tutorial which might be outdated that mentions a .bowerrc file after running yo angular. But for me, the .bowerrc file is missing. I couldn't find sources say that it's no longer in use. So if I still need it, where can I get it?

Update: The reason I didn't have .bowerrc was because my yo angular did not run to completion due to errors. It has been fixed since.

I think that setting line mentioned above

  "json": "bower.json" // Add this line

Isn't necessary; check the Bower configuration page.

That's correct. By not declaring the `json` path in the bowerrc file it defaults to bower.json. – Matt Smith Aug 06 '14 at 15:55

just create in your root a .bowerrc file with that content

 {
      "directory": "app/components",
      "json": "bower.json" // Add this line
  }

All packages will be installed in that directory. Then create a file bower.json with that content

{
  "name": "project",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "authors": "",
  "description": "",
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery": "~2.1.0",
    "angular": "~1.2.13",
    "angular-resource": "~1.2.13",
    "angular-route": "~1.2.13"
  }
}

and run it with node prompt bower install

I hope will hepls you
