Bootstrap Essentials is downloadable in two forms, within which you'll find the following directories and files, logically grouping common resources and providing both compiled and minified variations.
Please note that all JavaScript plugins included in Bootstrap Essentials requires jQuery, as shown in the starter template.
Once downloaded, unzip the compressed folder to see the structure of (the compiled) Bootstrap Essentials. You'll see something like this:
bootstrap-essentials/
├── css/
│ ├── bootstrap-essentials.css
│ ├── bootstrap-essentials.css.map
│ ├── bootstrap-essentials.min.css
│ └── bootstrap-essentials.min.css.map
└── js/
├── bootstrap-essentials.js
└── bootstrap-essentials.min.js
Place the included css and js files along with bootstrap.css
and bootstap.js
. We provide compiled
CSS and JS (bootstrap-essentials.*
), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (bootstrap-essentials.min.*
).
CSS source maps (bootstrap-essentials.*.map
)
are available for use with certain browsers' developer tools.
The Bootstrap Essentials source code download includes the precompiled CSS and JavaScript, along with source SCSS and JavaScript. More specifically, it includes the following:

The scss/
and js/

the source code for our documentation, and examples/
of Bootstrap usage. Beyond that, any other included
