Installing twitter bootstrap on unbuntu

I am trying to install twitter bootstrap on ubuntu 64 bit. I'm quite new to using ubuntu. I have been watching Frontend Development > Laying Out the Page videos. I hear its difficult to work with ruby on rails on pc, So I have ubuntu installed on a virtual machine and I am having difficulty installing bootstrap. I cant seem to find any tutorials on it. Please help.

its just a css file, so you can dowload the css file off the bootstrap page and copy and paste that into your text editor and save it as a .css file, which is what they do in the treehouse videos.

I prefer just using the bootstrap gem (just add bootstrap-sass to your gemfile and run bundle install). If you want to use a specific version of bootstrap you will have to add the version number. 

gem "bootstrap-sass", "~> 2.3.2.2"

Note: if you use the gem at the top of your custom css file you will need to import bootstrap
