- Install with [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org): CSS: `Install-Package bootstrap -Pre` Sass: `Install-Package bootstrap.sass -Pre` (`-Pre` is only required until Bootstrap v4 has a stable release).

We provide compiled CSS and JS (`bootstrap.*`), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (`bootstrap.min.*`). CSS [source maps](https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/css-preprocessors) (`bootstrap.*.map`) are available for use with certain browsers' developer tools.
