https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/introduction/ you should find this website very helpful. It has the meta tag, script tags, and link tags you need to get started using bootstrap on your own website.

The meta tag holds metadata about the HTML document. It's displayable on the page in any way, but it can be used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other data. The metadata can also be used by browsers (how to display content or reload page), search engines (keywords), or other web services.

The doctype basically tells the Web browsers which version of HTML you have used so that they know how to render your pages.
