Compiling CSS and JavaScript

Bootstrap uses Grunt with convenient methods for working with the framework. It's how we compile our code, run tests, and more. To use it, install the required dependencies as directed and then run some Grunt commands.

Install Grunt

From the command line:

1. Install grunt-cli globally with npm install -g grunt-cli.
2. Install the necessary local dependencies via npm install

When completed, you'll be able to run the various Grunt commands provided from the command line.

Unfamiliar with npm? Don't have node installed? That's a-okay. npm stands for node packaged modules and is a way to manage development dependencies through node.js. Download and install node.js before proceeding.

Available Grunt commands

Watch - grunt watch

This is a convenience method for watching just Less files and automatically building them whenever you save.

compile JavaScript - grunt js

run concat and minify JavaScript files inside /assets/js

compile LESS - grunt css

compile LESS files and minify CSS files inside /assets/css

Troubleshooting dependencies

Should you encounter problems with installing dependencies or running Grunt commands, uninstall all previous dependency versions (global and local). Then, rerun npm install.
