I have generated a yeoman website and that comes along with bootstrap 3, how can I install bootstrap 4 instead.

This also works for people using CodeKit (seems like you can't use bower commands in CodeKit)!
1) Delete the old bower_components/bootstrap folder.
2) Create a bower.json file in your root with this content:
3. Instrall regular bootstrap version via codekit. --> Version 4.0-alpha will be installed automatically instead of the 3.x stable release.
Boostrap v4 is currently in an alpha state. The command
bower install bootstrap
installs the latest stable release.To download the alpha version and save this choice run:
this is a right command line
there is official link how to manage bootstrap with other Package managers getbootstrap 4
First of all remove old bootstrap from your project (remove
bower_components/bootstrap/
directory)Than you have two options:
1. Bower command with particular version:
2. Using bower.json file
create file called
bower.json
in your project root (see example below)then run
I'd recommend second option with bower.json file, because this is more flexible solution, you can use boser.json for other packages you need, by simple adding new line.
