The Amber examples readme and the Wiki getting started page request the global installation of bower and grunt-cli whereas the Amber 0.13.1 readme does not.

Clarify!

There is no need to replicate these instructions in too many places. So after clarification remove them and replace with a link where appropriate.

Well, the thing is pretty clearly stated in the last informative message after amber init successfully finishes. bower and grunt-cli are not needed immediately at this moment, but if you want to manage dependencies and run dev tooling, you will need to install them (amber init has its local copies to be less scary by being able to run in itself).

This is the feedback text

The project should now be set up.


To manage project from cli (run tests, recompile),
the `grunt` command-line tool needs to be installed.
If not present, it can be installed with:
  (sudo) npm install -g grunt-cli

To manage project dependencies,
the `bower` command-line tool needs to be installed.
If not present, it can be installed with:
  (sudo) npm install -g bower 

What I understand

  1. For installing Amber and some initial development of Smalltalk code a global installation of bower and grunt-cli are not necessary.
  2. However as soon as you want to develop with Amber you need grunt and bower.
