As I understand the question, just use the "Frontend Maven Plugin"

  1. It installs node & npm: https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin#installing-node-and-npm
  2. Executes npm install, which is already the default argument and can be omitted: https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin#running-npm

Go to your terminal and type in 

npm install

This will crawl through all the required packages mentioned in package.json and download it to node_modules folder.

When using gulp in your gulpfile.js 

var install = require("gulp-install");

gulp.src(['./bower.json', './package.json'])
.pipe(install());

So when you run gulp in your terminal all the packages in bower.json and package.json will be downloaded into bower_components and node_modules, respectively.
