That command will fetch the required version of each external component listed in ``bower.json``
(actually, it will do this for *all* ``bower.json`` files found in the ``static/`` directories

``css`` files and place them in an appropriately named directory under ``static/lib/``. The
latter location is controlled by ``COMPONENT_ROOT`` in ``settings.py``.

The ``bower_install`` command is not run automatically by ``bin/mkrelease``,

and we're not running ``bower update`` since some package releases break
compatibility. So when you're intending to
