Hi when trying to install the latest version of Bootstrap it comes with an icons folder rather than an images folder. How do I include this? I'm runing rails 4.1.x and there is no icons folder in assets.

Are you following along with the Treebook application?
Don't worry about it too much - Bootstrap css files will point to the icons folder - so copy it into the assets folder and make sure you leave it with the same name (icons) and same location relative to the other css files from Bootstrap and you'll be fine. (essentially just copy everything to the assets folder like they do!)
You can delete the images folder if you like, but it shouldn't make a difference :)
Hope that helps!

If you want to follow along the videos line by line, pixel by pixel, you need older Bootstrap (and older Rails for that matter, prepare for lots of nil class errors using Rails 4.1 with Treebook).

2,630 PointsHello, yes I have completed the treebook lesson and was trying to use some of the techniques to create a simple site.
I made a slight mistake on the question, it comes with a fonts folder that includes glythicons, it doesn't work if I create a fonts folder and copy them in there.

36,441 PointsGoogle up how to use and set up Bootstrap 3 in Rails 4, including Glyphicons problem (these are very numerous and some people just give up and use things like Font Awesome instead). For Rails I suggest simply using Bootstrap-sass gem. No need to create and manipulate files and folders within your app.
