include twitter bootstrap in a rails app

Question

I want to include twitter-bootstrap in one of my rails app.

I added the gem gem twitter-bootstrap-rails in my Gemfile . And I did the bundle install.

But I didn't see the bootstrap's css and js files under the assets of my app.

Do I need to generate them?

Or should I simply download latest bootstrap zip file and add them to my app?

So, I want to know what's the best way to include bootstrap in a rails app.

Answer 1

You need to install bootstrap-sass gem and sass-rails gem. after that rename your application.css file to application.scss and add below code

// "bootstrap-sprockets" must be imported before "bootstrap" and "bootstrap/variables"
@import "bootstrap-sprockets";
@import "bootstrap";

Please check bootstrap gem github page https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass

Answer 2
