<h2 id="quick-start">Quick start</h2>
<p>Looking to quickly add Bootstrap to your project? Use jsDelivr, provided for free by the folks at jsDelivr. Using a package manager or need to download the source files? <a href="/docs/4.0/getting-started/download/">Head to the downloads page.</a></p>
<h3 id="css">CSS</h3>
<p>Copy-paste the stylesheet <code class="highlighter-rouge"><link></code> into your <code class="highlighter-rouge"><head></code> before all other stylesheets to load our CSS.</p>

<h3 id="js">JS</h3>
<p>Many of our components require the use of JavaScript to function. Specifically, they require <a href="https://jquery.com">jQuery</a>, <a href="https://popper.js.org/">Popper.js</a>, and our own JavaScript plugins. Place the following <code class="highlighter-rouge"><script></code>s near the end of your pages, right before the closing <code class="highlighter-rouge"></body></code> tag, to enable them. jQuery must come first, then Popper.js, and then our JavaScript plugins.</p>
<p>We use <a href="https://blog.jquery.com/2016/06/09/jquery-3-0-final-released/">jQuery’s slim build</a>, but the full version is also supported.</p>
<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="nt"><script </span><span class="na">src=</span><span class="s">"https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"</span> <span class="na">integrity=</span><span class="s">"sha384-KJ3o2DKtIkvYIK3UENzmM7KCkRr/rE9/Qpg6aAZGJwFDMVNA/GpGFF93hXpG5KkN"</span> <span class="na">crossorigin=</span><span class="s">"anonymous"</span><span class="nt">></script></span>

<p>Be sure to have your pages set up with the latest design and development standards. That means using an HTML5 doctype and including a viewport meta tag for proper responsive behaviors. Put it all together and your pages should look like this:</p>

<p>That’s all you need for overall page requirements. Visit the <a href="/docs/4.0/layout/overview/">Layout docs</a> or <a href="/docs/4.0/examples/">our official examples</a> to start laying out your site’s content and components.</p>
<h2 id="important-globals">Important globals</h2>
<p>Bootstrap employs a handful of important global styles and settings that you’ll need to be aware of when using it, all of which are almost exclusively geared towards the <em>normalization</em> of cross browser styles. Let’s dive in.</p>
<h3 id="html5-doctype">HTML5 doctype</h3>
<p>Bootstrap requires the use of the HTML5 doctype. Without it, you’ll see some funky incomplete styling, but including it shouldn’t cause any considerable hiccups.</p>
<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="cp"><!doctype html></span>
<span class="nt"><html</span> <span class="na">lang=</span><span class="s">"en"</span><span class="nt">></span>
...
<span class="nt"></html></span></code></pre></figure>
<h3 id="responsive-meta-tag">Responsive meta tag</h3>
<p>Bootstrap is developed <em>mobile first</em>, a strategy in which we optimize code for mobile devices first and then scale up components as necessary using CSS media queries. To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming for all devices, <strong>add the responsive viewport meta tag</strong> to your <code class="highlighter-rouge"><head></code>.</p>
<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="nt"><meta</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">"viewport"</span> <span class="na">content=</span><span class="s">"width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no"</span><span class="nt">></span></code></pre></figure>
<p>You can see an example of this in action in the <a href="#starter-template">starter template</a>.</p>
<h3 id="box-sizing">Box-sizing</h3>
<p>For more straightforward sizing in CSS, we switch the global <code class="highlighter-rouge">box-sizing</code> value from <code class="highlighter-rouge">content-box</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">border-box</code>. This ensures <code class="highlighter-rouge">padding</code> does not affect the final computed width of an element, but it can cause problems with some third party software like Google Maps and Google Custom Search Engine.</p>
<p>On the rare occasion you need to override it, use something like the following:</p>
<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-css" data-lang="css"><span class="nc">.selector-for-some-widget</span> <span class="p">{</span>
<span class="nl">box-sizing</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">content-box</span><span class="p">;</span>
<span class="p">}</span></code></pre></figure>
<p>With the above snippet, nested elements—including generated content via <code class="highlighter-rouge">::before</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">::after</code>—will all inherit the specified <code class="highlighter-rouge">box-sizing</code> for that <code class="highlighter-rouge">.selector-for-some-widget</code>.</p>
<p>Learn more about <a href="https://css-tricks.com/box-sizing/">box model and sizing at CSS Tricks</a>.</p>
<h3 id="reboot">Reboot</h3>
<p>For improved cross-browser rendering, we use <a href="/docs/4.0/content/reboot/">Reboot</a> to correct inconsistencies across browsers and devices while providing slightly more opinionated resets to common HTML elements.</p>
