Rails and bootstrap

How to install bootstrap on your Rails 5+ project

• After quite a bit of Googling and some failed attempts I landed here.

• The gist is to do the following:

  1. Put the following into your Gemfile

     gem 'bootstrap-sass', '3.3.7'

  2. Run

     bundle install

  3. Create a CSS file

     touch app/assets/stylesheets/custom.scss

  4. Import bootstrap and bootstrap-sprockets into the file you just created

     @import "bootstrap-sprockets";
     @import "bootstrap";

• You’re now running bootstrap!
