Is npm automatically installed with ASP.NET 5?

I've been using ASP.NET 5 RC1 for a while now I know the default web application project template relies on Bower which requires npm as well. I'm trying to find some definitive information, but am coming up dry. I looked on my machine and I had installed npm for Windows using the standalone package much prior to using ASP.NET 5.

I also ran the following from the command line npm -v and I got the current npm version.

The main question is, does the ASP.NET 5 RC1 install npm and bower, VS.NET 2015 install, or is it a prerequisite that a user install npm before using ASP.NET 5?

npm gets installed with visual studio 2015. If you're having trouble to with accessing the visual studio node integration tools you can try install this:

Have a look here for information how node integrates with visual studio 2015.

I hope this helps.
