Package managers

Pull in Bootstrap's source files into nearly any project with some of the most popular package managers. No matter the package manager, Bootstrap will require a Sass compiler and Autoprefixer for a setup that matches our official compiled versions.

Bower

Install and manage Bootstrap's Sass and JavaScript using Bower.

{% highlight bash %}$ bower install bootstrap{% endhighlight %}

npm

Install Bootstrap in your Node powered apps with the npm package:

{% highlight bash %}$ npm install bootstrap{% endhighlight %}

require('bootstrap') will load all of Bootstrap's jQuery plugins onto the jQuery object. The bootstrap module itself does not export anything. You can manually load Bootstrap's jQuery plugins individually by loading the /js/*.js files under the package's top-level directory.

Bootstrap's package.json contains some additional metadata under the following keys:

• less - path to Bootstrap's main Less source file
• style - path to Bootstrap's non-minified CSS that's been precompiled using the default settings (no customization)

Meteor

{% highlight bash %} $ meteor add twbs:bootstrap {% endhighlight %}

Composer

You can also install and manage Bootstrap's Sass and JavaScript using Composer:

{% highlight bash %} $ composer require twbs/bootstrap {% endhighlight %}
