Meteor package dependency - Added automatically or Not

I am trying to use rajit:bootstrap3-datepicker in my project. The project page on Atmosphere list jquery as dependency of this package.

Does meteor add jquery when I run the command

meteor add rajit:bootstrap3-datepicker

or do I have to separately add jquery 

meteor add jquery

Note: .meteor/packages does not show jquery as one of the added packages.

You do not have to install jQuery in addition. Usually packages have their dependencies already included, so just do meteor add [package] and you are good to go.

.meteor/packages will only list dependencies specific to your app and not a package's dependency.

jquery is listed as a dependency in rajit:bootstrap3-datepicker package.js, this is why it will be automatically added to your app without the need to explicitly add it yourself.

.meteor/packages is only listing your app direct dependencies, not dependencies implied by the packages you're using.
