Configuration

Currently, you can configure your bower directory in .bowerrc file, just like the original Bower.

If you need many dependencies, you'll likely hit the Github API limit (currently 60 requests per hour).
To increase your limit to 5000 requests per hour, you can use a token.
See Github help.
Once you created your token, just store it in the BOWERPHP_TOKEN environment variable.
