## Get started any way you want

Jump right into building with Bootstrap—use the CDN, install it via package manager, or download the source code.

Read installation docs

### Install via package manager

Install Bootstrap’s source Sass and JavaScript files via npm, RubyGems, Composer, or Meteor. Package managed installs don’t include documentation or our full build scripts. You can also use our npm template repo to quickly generate a Bootstrap project via npm.

    npm install bootstrap@5.2.0

    gem install bootstrap -v 5.2.0

Read our installation docs for more info and additional package managers.

### Include via CDN

When you only need to include Bootstrap’s compiled CSS or JS, you can use jsDelivr. See it in action with our simple quick start, or browse the examples to jumpstart your next project. You can also choose to include Popper and our JS separately.

    <!-- CSS only -->
    <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.2.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-gH2yIJqKdNHPEq0n4Mqa/HGKIhSkIHeL5AyhkYV8i59U5AR6csBvApHHNl/vI1Bx" crossorigin="anonymous">

    <!-- JavaScript Bundle with Popper -->

## Customize everything with Sass

Bootstrap utilizes Sass for a modular and customizable architecture. Import only the components you need, enable global options like gradients and shadows, and write your own CSS with our variables, maps, functions, and mixins.

### Include all of Bootstrap’s Sass

Import one stylesheet and you're off to the races with every feature of our CSS.

    // Variable overrides first
    $primary: #900;
    $enable-shadows: true;
    $prefix: "mo-";

    // Then import Bootstrap
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";

Learn more about our global Sass options.

### Include what you need

The easiest way to customize Bootstrap—include only the CSS you need.

    // Functions first
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/functions";

    // Variable overrides second
    $primary: #900;
    $enable-shadows: true;
    $prefix: "mo-";

    // Required Bootstrap imports
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/variables";
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/maps";
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/mixins";
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/root";

    // Optional components
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/utilities";
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/reboot";
    @import "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/containers";

## Build and extend in real-time with CSS variables

Bootstrap 5 is evolving with each release to better utilize CSS variables for global theme styles, individual components, and even utilities. We provide dozens of variables for colors, font styles, and more at a `:root` level for use anywhere. On components and utilities, CSS variables are scoped to the relevant class and can easily be modified.

Learn more about CSS variables

### Using CSS variables

Use any of our global `:root` variables to write new styles. CSS variables use the `var(--bs-variableName)` syntax and can be inherited by children elements.

    .component {
      color: var(--bs-gray-800);
      background-color: var(--bs-gray-100);
      border: 1px solid var(--bs-gray-200);
      border-radius: .25rem;
    }

    .component-header {
      color: var(--bs-purple);
    }

### Customizing via CSS variables

Override global, component, or utility class variables to customize Bootstrap just how you like. No need to redeclare each rule, just a new variable value.

    body {
      --bs-body-font-family: var(--bs-font-monospace);
      --bs-body-line-height: 1.4;
      --bs-body-bg: var(--bs-gray-100);
    }

    .table {
      --bs-table-color: var(--bs-gray-600);
      --bs-table-bg: var(--bs-gray-100);
      --bs-table-border-color: transparent;
    }

## Components, meet the Utility API

New in Bootstrap 5, our utilities are now generated by our Utility API. We built it as a feature-packed Sass map that can be quickly and easily customized. It's never been easier to add, remove, or modify any utility classes. Make utilities responsive, add pseudo-class variants, and give them custom names.

###### Quickly customize components

    // Create and extend utilities with the Utility API

    @import "bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";

    $utilities: map-merge(
      $utilities,
      (
        "cursor": (
          property: cursor,
          class: cursor,
          responsive: true,
          values: auto pointer grab,
        )
      )
    );

## Powerful JavaScript plugins without jQuery

Easily add toggleable hidden elements, modals and offcanvas menus, popovers and tooltips, and so much more—all without jQuery. JavaScript in Bootstrap is HTML-first, which means adding plugins is as easy as adding `data` attributes. Need more control? Include individual plugins programmatically.

Learn more about Bootstrap JavaScript

### Data attribute API

Why write more JavaScript when you can write HTML? Nearly all of Bootstrap's JavaScript plugins feature a first-class data API, allowing you to use JavaScript just by adding `data` attributes.

    <div class="dropdown">
      <button class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" type="button" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
        Dropdown
      </button>
      <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown item</a></li>
        <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown item</a></li>
        <li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Dropdown item</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>

Learn more about our JavaScript as modules and using the programmatic API.
