+title: Compiling with Grunt
+---
+
+Bootstrap uses [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com) for its build system, with convenient methods for working with the framework. It's how we compile our code, run tests, and more.
+
+### Install Grunt
+
+**To install Grunt, you must first [download and install node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/)** (which includes npm). npm stands for [node packaged modules](http://npmjs.org/) and is a way to manage development dependencies through node.js.
+
+From the command line:
+
+1. Install `grunt-cli` globally with `npm install -g grunt-cli`.
+2. Navigate to the root `/bootstrap` directory, then run `npm install`. npm will look at [package.json](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/package.json) and automatically install the necessary local dependencies listed there.
+
+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](http://npmjs.org/) and is a way to manage development dependencies through node.js. [Download and install node.js](http://nodejs.org/download/) before proceeding.
+
+### Available Grunt commands
+
+#### Build - `grunt`
+Run `grunt` to run tests locally and compile the CSS and JavaScript into `/dist`. **Uses [Less](http://lesscss.org/) and [UglifyJS](http://lisperator.net/uglifyjs/).**
+
+#### Only compile CSS and JavaScript - `grunt dist`
+`grunt dist` creates the `/dist` directory with compiled files. **Uses [Less](http://lesscss.org/) and [UglifyJS](http://lisperator.net/uglifyjs/).**
+
+#### Tests - `grunt test`
+Runs [JSHint](http://jshint.com) and [QUnit](http://qunitjs.com/) tests headlessly in [PhantomJS](http://phantomjs.org/) (used for CI).
+
+#### Watch - `grunt watch`
+This is a convenience method for watching just Less files and automatically building them whenever you save.
+
+### 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`.

+Bootstrap 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.
+
+<div class="bs-callout bs-callout-warning" id="jquery-required">
+  <h4>jQuery required</h4>
+  <p>Please note that <strong>all JavaScript plugins require jQuery</strong> to be included, as shown in the <a href="#template">starter template</a>. <a href="{{ site.repo }}/blob/v{{ site.current_version }}/bower.json">Consult our <code>bower.json</code></a> to see which versions of jQuery are supported.</p>
+</div>
+
+### Precompiled Bootstrap
+
+Once downloaded, unzip the compressed folder to see the structure of (the compiled) Bootstrap. You'll see something like this:
+
+<!-- NOTE: This info is intentionally duplicated in the README. Copy any changes made here over to the README too. -->
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+bootstrap/
+├── css/
+│   ├── bootstrap.css
+│   ├── bootstrap.min.css
+│   ├── bootstrap-theme.css
+│   └── bootstrap-theme.min.css
+└── js/
+    ├── bootstrap.js
+    └── bootstrap.min.js
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+This is the most basic form of Bootstrap: precompiled files for quick drop-in usage in nearly any web project. We provide compiled CSS and JS (`bootstrap.*`), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (1bootstrap.min.*1). Also included is the optional Bootstrap theme.
+
+### Bootstrap source code
+
+The Bootstrap source code download includes the precompiled CSS and JavaScript assets, along with source Less, JavaScript, and documentation. More specifically, it includes the following and more:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+bootstrap/
+├── less/
+├── js/
+├── dist/
+│   ├── css/
+│   └── js/
+└── docs/
+    └── examples/
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+The `less/` and `js/` are the source code for our CSS and JavaScript. The `dist/` folder includes everything listed in the precompiled download section above. The `docs/` folder includes the source code for our documentation, and `examples/` of Bootstrap usage. Beyond that, any other included file provides support for packages, license information, and development.

+
+Bootstrap is available for download via ZIP file in two flavors: precompiled CSS and Javascript, and the complete source code with documentation.
+
+### Precompiled
+
+Compiled and minified CSS and JavaScript. No docs or original source files are included.
+
+<a href="{{ site.download.dist }}" class="btn btn-lg btn-outline" role="button" onclick="ga('send', 'event', 'Getting started', 'Download', 'Download compiled');">Download Bootstrap</a>
+
+### Download source and docs
+
+Source Less, JavaScript, and documentation. **Requires a Less compiler and [some setup](#grunt).**
+

+
+### Bower
+
+Install and manage Bootstrap's Less, CSS, and JavaScript using [Bower](http://bower.io).
+
+{% highlight bash %}$ bower install bootstrap{% endhighlight %}
+
+### npm
+
+Bootstrap is available as [an npm package](https://www.npmjs.org/package/bootstrap). Install it into your Node powered apps with:
+
+{% highlight bash %}$ npm install bootstrap{% endhighlight %}

+
+Quickly add Bootstrap to your project via the [Bootstrap CDN](http://bootstrapcdn.com), graciously provided by the [MaxCDN](http://www.maxcdn.com/) folks. Copy-paste the stylesheet `<link>` into your `<head>` before all other stylesheets.
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.cdn.css }}">
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Then, add the Bootstrap JavaScript—and jQuery—near the end of your pages. It's best placed right before the closing `</body>` tag. Be sure to place jQuery first as our code depends on it.
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<script src="{{ site.cdn.jquery }}"></script>
+<script src="{{ site.cdn.js }}"></script>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Be sure to have your pages set up with the latest design and development standards. That means:
+
+* Using an HTML5 doctype
+* Forcing Internet Explorer to use it's latest rendering mode ([read more]())
+* And, utilizing the viewport meta tag.
+
+Put it all together and your pages should look like this:
+
+{% highlight html %}
+<!DOCTYPE html>
+<html lang="en">
+  <head>
+    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
+    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
+    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.cdn.css }}">
+  </head>
+  <body>
+    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
+
+    <script src="{{ site.cdn.jquery }}"></script>
+    <script src="{{ site.cdn.js }}"></script>
+  </body>
+</html>
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+And that's it. Happy Bootstrapping!
