How to install bower dependencies using npm install?

I want npm install to install the bower dependencies as well. I have a bower.json file containing frontend packages and there is package.json file which contains the backend packages. After i run npm install, node_modules are installed whereas the dependencies mentioned in bower.json file are not installed.

I don't want to use bower install rather I want to do all this with npm install command.

It's quite simple. If you have bower listed in package.json as dependency you may add postinstall script to your package.json as follows:

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "bower install"
}

and running npm install will launch also bower install automatically
