Bootstrap Installation

Bootstrap is a widely used open-source front-end framework for building responsive and mobile-first web applications. In this guide, I will walk you through the process of installing Bootstrap on your system.

Prerequisites

Before starting the Bootstrap installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Node.js: Install Node.js, which comes with npm (Node Package Manager), from the official Node.js website: https://nodejs.org

Steps to Install Bootstrap

Follow these steps to install Bootstrap:

1. Create a new directory for your project:

   mkdir my-project

2. Initialize a new Node.js project using npm:

3. Install Bootstrap as a dependency:

5. Include Bootstrap in your HTML file by adding the following lines to the head section:

   <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
   <script src="node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
   <script src="node_modules/popper.js/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
