bower install jquery works fine. Although I don't see jquery in http://bower.io/search/?q=owner:jquery.

Also https://github.com/jquery/jquery doesn't have a bower.json yet I can install, howcome ?

If you look closely to the last line when you install jQuery using bower you can see that bower used the following repository: https://github.com/components/jquery

d:\temp>bower install jquery

bower not-cached git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#*

bower resolve git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#*

bower download https://github.com/jquery/jquery/archive/2.1.4.tar.gz

bower extract jquery#* archive.tar.gz

bower resolved git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git#2.1.4

bower install jquery#2.1.4

jquery#2.1.4 bower_components\jquery

You can find the packet on the bowerwebsite here: http://bower.io/search/?q=owner:components%20property-book-client
