bower.json how to skip already installed packages

In my application, all the packages except Chart and angular-chart are already installed.

I need to install only these two.

Question: How to skip the rest of the packages from being updated or downloaded again?

{
  "name": "ui-chromeapp",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "~1.2.23",
    "angular-bootstrap": "~0.11.0",
    "bootstrap": "~3.2.0",
    "angular-ui-router": "~0.2.11",
    "underscore": "~1.7.0",
    "jquery.easy-pie-chart": "~2.1.4",
    "sprintf": "~1.0.2",
    "jquery.scrollTo":"~2.1.1",
    "angular-translate":"~2.8.1",
    "angular-translate-loader-static-files" : "~2.8.1",
    "Chart.js" : "1.0.1"

  },
  "devDependencies": {},
  "resolutions": {
    "Chart.js": "1.0.1"
  }
}

Hint: While using bower installcommand, after your ran it once before, no new packages / dependencies were installed. When using bower update new versions of your packages will be downloaded (depending on your bower.json configuration -> package version config). All in all, both commands do not install a package in the same package-version again.

Just remove the version option handlers and you wil be fine. It's not a issue, it's a nice behavior. 

{
  "name": "ui-chromeapp",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "1.2.23",
    "angular-bootstrap": "0.11.0",
    "bootstrap": "3.2.0",
    "angular-ui-router": "0.2.11",
    "underscore": "1.7.0",
    "jquery.easy-pie-chart": "2.1.4",
    "sprintf": "1.0.2",
    "jquery.scrollTo":"2.1.1",
    "angular-translate":"2.8.1",
    "angular-translate-loader-static-files" : "2.8.1",
    "Chart.js" : "1.0.1"

  },
  "devDependencies": {},
  "resolutions": {
    "Chart.js": "1.0.1"
  }
}
