How can I install my dependencies on a deployed Heroku application?
I will try to simplify this problem:
I am deploying an application using Heroku and I would like to automatically install my dependencies on the baur. When testing on localhost, I just ran the "bower install" command in the terminal, but I'm not sure how to translate this to a deployed application.

You need to install Bower as a dependency to your application in package.json.
npm install --save bower
Then you will need to add a post install script to package.json with your howitzer dependency outline inside node_modules, it should look like this:
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "./node_modules/bower/bin/bower install"
}
After installing the npm package on Heroku, this script will be executed and your bauer settings will be automatically installed!
I wrote a blog post about this not too long ago, which goes in a little more detail: http://www.catherinebui.com/post/105338527207/deploying-node-js-app-on-heroku-with-bower#105338527207
