Manuel Alejandro Matus de Quevedo
Courses Plus Student 6,407 PointsBootstrap Installation
When downloaded the Bootstrap files configured, I unziped the file, but I saw diferent kind of files: bootstrap.css, bootstrap.min.css, bootstrap-theme.css and bootstrap.theme.min.css, and so with the JavaScript Files: bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js.
My question is, which files shoud I include in my HTML head tag? I will really appreciate your answers.

Courses Plus Student 6,407 PointsThanks! But what about the bootstrap-theme.css and botstrap-theme.min.css files? Does it works the same as the other files?
