Bootstrap is a sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development, created by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton, and maintained by the core team with the massive support and involvement of the community.
To get started, check out http://getbootstrap.com!
Several quick start options are available:
git clone https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git
npm install bootstrap@4.0.0-alpha.2
meteor add twbs:bootstrap@=4.0.0-alpha.2
composer require twbs/bootstrap
bower install bootstrap#v4.0.0-alpha.2
Install-Package bootstrap -Pre
Sass: Install-Package bootstrap.sass -Pre
(-Pre
is only required until Bootstrap v4 has a stable release).Read the Getting started page for information on the framework contents, templates and examples, and more.
Within the download you'll find the following directories and files, logically grouping common assets and providing both compiled and minified variations. You'll see something like this:
bootstrap/
├── css/
│ ├── bootstrap.css
│ ├── bootstrap.css.map
│ ├── bootstrap.min.css
│ └── bootstrap.min.css.map
└── js/
├── bootstrap.js
└── bootstrap.min.js
We provide compiled CSS and JS (bootstrap.*
), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (bootstrap.min.*
). CSS source maps (bootstrap.*.map
) are available for use with certain browsers' developer tools.
