But when working on the client it's convenient to not have to worry about building the project, as you can just reference the built files directly.\r\n\r\nFor small projects [the manual installation process](https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX#usage) works fine, but the benefits of just being able to run `npm update` or [`bower update`](https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/pull/112#discussion_r17942712) to get the latest versions for things (with the dependency tree sorted) quickly becomes relevant as a project's dependencies grow, especially as the project ages and its dependencies become out-of-date.\r\n\r\nIt might seem odd to include the built files, but a large number of popular libraries do it. Some examples are [Backbone](https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/blob/master/backbone-min.js), [Marionette](https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/blob/master/lib/backbone.marionette.min.js),  [Angular's proxy repository](https://github.com/angular/bower-angular), Ember's (unofficial?) [proxy library](https://github.com/components/ember), and [Bootstrap](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/tree/master/dist)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Khan/KaTeX/issues/comments/90668809","html_url":"https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX/issues/114#issuecomment-90668809","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Khan/KaTeX/issues/114","id":90668809,"user":{"login":"justinfagnani","id":522948,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/522948?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani","html_url":"https://github.com/justinfagnani","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/justinfagnani/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-07T17:45:32Z","updated_at":"2015-04-07T17:45:32Z","body":"Any word here on including built files and a bower manifest?
