 ## Running
 To start a web server for the application, run:
 
+    lein bower install
     lein ring server
 
 Alternatively, if you want to deploy to a servlet container (which I would strongly recommend), the simplest thing is to run:
 
+    lein bower install
     lein ring uberwar
 
 (a command which I'm sure Smeagol would entirely appreciate) and deploy the resulting war file.
