How to Implement Bootstrap via NPM for your Web Development Project?

First of all create an empty folder to start your project.

Next cd into the project folder using the command line.

Next type in the following command in the terminal :

npm init -y

This command creates a package.json file which contains some details about the project folder you’ve created. This is the first step in initialization of the process.

Next create an index.html file which is the base file you create for any web development project.

Next type the following command inside the terminal to install the latest Bootstrap toolkit inside of your project :

npm install bootstrap

This command installs all the bootstrap files and folders inside your project directory.

Next type in the HTML boilerplate template in the index.html file.
Next inside the <head> section of the HTML add the following CSS link to access Bootstrap CSS toolkit :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">

Next inside the <script> section of the body place the following JavaScript link to access Bootstrap JavaScript toolkit :

<script src="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

Here’s the full code setup inside index.html to make you understand everything clearly :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</head>
<body>
    <script src="node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

That’s how you implement Bootstrap with npm which includes all the node modules and packages installed. You’re now ready to create your very first Bootstrap website.
