Why do I need to install and compile Bootstrap?

  1. If it simply said Sass compiling, I would be ok, but it said Bootstrap compiling which connotes more than just Sass and is the source of my confusion.

    Indeed I can see how that is confusing. Perhaps it's doing more than either of us think. Maybe open a github issue or hit the IRC with an honest question? People are usually nice if you are.

    Agreed. This is the modern way. You'll have to install nodejs.

    Watch a vid on Node Package Manager (npm). It does a lot of the dependency work for you.

    Your minified files will be in the ./node_modules/bootstrap directory if memory serves.

    First thing I do when starting a project:
    1. Create a new directory
    2. npm init
    3. npm install the stuff I need
