Bootstrap is available for download via ZIP file in two flavors: precompiled CSS and Javascript, and the complete source code with documentation.

## Optional builds

### Scaffolding only
Just our global CSS resets, including Normalize and more. No custom CSS components or JavaScript.

### Kitchen sink
Download the entire project and quickly get developing. Includes all CSS and JavaScript, including the source files and basic build tools.
