How to bower install the unstable version of Angular UI Grid?

Question

A better pagination is implemented in ui-grid. The demo looks good. But it is using an unstable version.

When I check the bower packages by

bower info angular-ui-grid

The latest found is #3.0.0-RC.18.

After a bower install:

bower install angular-ui-grid#3.0.0-RC.18

I find no unstable.js to use. And the ui-grid.js installed contains no functions like enablePaginationControls. Obviously, that unstable version is not installed.

So, what is the correct way to obtain the unstable file?

Just checked the GitHub page link, and found there is a new update.

We don't want to just bower install a single file, which defeats the purpose of package management.

How is it possible to bower install version 3.0.0-RC.18-7774d30?

I tried:

bower install angular-ui-grid#3.0.0-RC.18-7774d30 --save

And here is the error:

bower not-cached    git://github.com/angular-ui/bower-ui-grid.git#3.0.0-RC.18-7774d30
bower resolve       git://github.com/angular-ui/bower-ui-grid.git#3.0.0-RC.18-7774d30
bower ENORESTARGET  No tag found that was able to satisfy 3.0.0-RC.18-7774d30

Additional error details:
Available versions: 3.0.0-rc.16, 3.0.0-rc.15, 3.0.0-rc.14, 3.0.0-rc.13, 3.0.0-rc.12, 3.0.0-rc.11, 3.0.0-rc.10, 3.0.0-rc.8, 3.0.0-rc.7, 3.0.0-RC.18

If you just want the one file, you can use this command to download it:

bower install --save https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-grid.info/blob/gh-pages/release/ui-grid-unstable.js

Thanks for the input. But is that really the way we should go? That command will place the file under a ui-grid-unstable folder. – Repro

This works fine, but link to the raw file: bower install --save https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angular-ui/ui-grid.info/gh-pages/release/ui-grid-unstable.js – Warn
