How to install highlight.js using bower?

Question

The latest version of highlight.js is 8.4: https://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js/tree/8.4

When I try to install it using bower, I get version 7.0.1:

bower install highlight -S
bower install highlight-js -S
bower install highlight.js.origin -S
bower install git://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js.git -S

Even if I use "git://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js.git#~8.4" I can't do it:

bower highlight#~8.4        not-cached git://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js.git#~8.4
bower highlight#~8.4           resolve git://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js.git#~8.4
bower highlight#~8.4      ENORESTARGET No tag found that was able to satisfy ~8.4

Additional error details:
Available versions: 7.0.1, 6.0.1

How to install highlight.js 8.4 using bower?

Answer 1

The shim-repository at https://github.com/components/highlightjs publishes the 8.4 version (and most later versions as well). So bower install highlightjs should do it.
