Adding AngularJS to existing node-express-mysql app

Question

I am new to AngularJS and would like to install it on an existing Node-Express-MySQL-Passport-EJS based app.

Where should I start? Do I have to install Grunt and Bower first?

I'm aware of the Mean.js stack but I don't use Mongo, my database is relational.

You can use angular as is using the files. You can install it using "npm" or "bower" as well. https://github.com/angular/bower-angular

Grunt may be necessary if you want run any tasks to your app, any automation stuff like minification etc. Grunt is basically task runner.
