Examples: Bower, Gulp... should not be installed globally

[tkrotoff]

In your examples here and here, you expect Bower and gulp to be installed globally.

This is not a good practice. These dependencies should be installed locally using package.json and managed with scripts or by calling node_modules/.bin/myclitool.

Also this has some bad consequences when you deploy the examples, see heroku/dotnet-buildpack#10 (comment). This is for Heroku but I guess the same problem happens with Azure/Kudu.

Btw Bower is kind of obsolete: 1, 2, 3. Asking people to understand npm, NuGet and also Bower in your "Get started" examples is kind of arsh.

Any news on this? I can make a PR

These were built off the default ASP.NET project templates, so they are what you should get if you follow the ASP.NET tutorials step-by-step. So this was probably an issue in the project templates, rather than the EF docs.

That said, I just moved the tutorials over to VS2017 (csproj rather than project.json), so I don't think this applies any more.
