Installing npm for bower on dokku

Question

I am trying to use bower install on my Django app, which is running on a dokku image.

I've got a plugin which tries to run it on pre-deploy but it needs npm and there's no npm installed on the image.

Does anyone know how to get npm on to the image or am I going about things the wrong way here?
