My bower.json file is this

{
  "name": "refactor",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery": "~1.11.1",
    "raphael": "1.3.x",
    "font-awesome": "~4.3.0",
    "foundation": "x"
  }
}

Answer 1

Use resolutions in your bower.json

{
  "name": "refactor",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "jquery": "~1.11.1",
    "raphael": "1.3.x",
    "font-awesome": "~4.3.0",
    "foundation": "x"
  },
  "resolutions": {
    "jquery": "~1.11.1"
  }
}

This will force bower to use that specific version of jQuery.

Answer 2

Best way to start with is to do

bower cache clean

After that when you do

bower install it will ask you

'Unable to find a suitable version for <Your Dependency Name>, please choose one: ,

then you can enter !1 or !2 , or whatever suits your needs the best.

This essentially adds the resolution block into bower.json as mentioned by @esbanarango but it just gives more control and understanding over what you are doing.

Answer 3

Try using this for the Jquery version:

"jquery": ">= 2.0.0"

However I think you would only need Foundation as a dependency:

or:

{
    "name": "PROJECT_NAME",
    "dependencies": {
       "foundation": "~5.4.7"
    }
}
