18,397 PointsFront-End Development: Twitter Bootstrap not working
I downloaded the project files, but the twitter bootstrap styles are not being applied to my web app. After looking at the source, I can see that none of the bootstrap files are being referenced in the HTML header.
I manually included them and the page layout displays correctly.
Since this was downloaded without modification, I assumed that everything should be implemented already.
I searched forum and google, but nothing seems to work!
Is anyone else having this issue? Is this something wrong the project files?
I noticed that this was initially part of the Ruby on Rail Track, but later removed...
Please advise
Thanks

@import "bootstrap";
at the top of your CSS file.

18,397 PointsI did watch (and follow) the video and I imported bootstrap, so I don't understand what went wrong.
However, I did come across another site that had installation instructions. Everything worked perfectly.
Instead of downloading directly from bootstrap site and moving files. I updated the gemfile, did a bundle install, imported bootstrap and restarted the server.
