37 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, [Autoprefixer](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer), and [postcss-flexbugs-fixes](https://github.com/luisrudge/postcss-flexbugs-fixes)** for a setup that matches our official compiled versions.
41 Install Bootstrap in your Node powered apps with [the npm package](https://www.npmjs.org/package/bootstrap):
44 npm install bootstrap@{{ site.current_version }}
47 `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.
49 Bootstrap's `package.json` contains some additional metadata under the following keys:
51 - `sass` - path to Bootstrap's main [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/) source file
52 - `style` - path to Bootstrap's non-minified CSS that's been precompiled using the default settings (no customization)
56 Install Bootstrap in your Ruby apps using [Bundler](https://bundler.io/) (**recommended**) and [RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/) by adding the following line to your [`Gemfile`](https://bundler.io/gemfile.html):
59 gem 'bootstrap', '~> 4.0.0.alpha6'
62 Alternatively, if you're not using Bundler, you can install the gem by running this command:
65 gem install bootstrap -v 4.0.0.alpha6
68 [See the gem's README](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-rubygem/blob/master/README.md) for further details.
72 You can also install and manage Bootstrap's Sass and JavaScript using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):
75 composer require twbs/bootstrap:{{ site.current_version }}
80 Install and manage Bootstrap's Sass and JavaScript using [Bower](https://bower.io).
83 bower install bootstrap#v{{ site.current_version }}
88 If you develop in .NET, you can also install and manage Bootstrap's [CSS](https://www.nuget.org/packages/bootstrap/) or [Sass](https://www.nuget.org/packages/bootstrap.sass/) and JavaScript using [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org):
90 {% highlight powershell %}
91 Install-Package bootstrap -Pre
94 {% highlight powershell %}
95 Install-Package bootstrap.sass -Pre
98 The `-Pre` is required until Bootstrap v4 has a stable release.
