# Getting Started
4

    
5
## Installation
6
- Install the Bootstrap base theme in `sites/all/themes` or a similar
7
  `sites/*/themes` folder.
8
- Enable the [Drupal Bootstrap] base theme. If you do not intend to use the base
9
  theme as the default theme, and instead choose to create a sub-theme, you will
10
  still need to enable the [Drupal Bootstrap] base theme (see warning below).
11
- Ensure your site's jQuery version has been configured to meet the
12
  [Bootstrap Framework] minimum version requirement. The preferred method for
13
  updating Drupal's jQuery is to install the [jQuery Update] module.
14

    
15
{.alert.alert-warning} **WARNING:** Due to a bug in Drupal 7, base themes may
16
appear to still "work" even if they are not enabled. This fact does not mean
17
that the base theme still isn't required to be enabled. Not all features will
18
work properly if the base theme is disabled, especially if certain
19
functionality relies on a list of "enabled" themes.

## Bootstrap Framework Fundamentals
22
Generally speaking, you should really read the entire [Bootstrap Framework]
23
documentation site, if you haven't already. Here are the four basic "sections"
24
that site is split into:
25

    
26
- [Getting Started](http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started) - An overview of
27
  the [Bootstrap Framework], how to download and use, basic templates and
28
  examples, and more.
29
- [CSS](http://getbootstrap.com/css/) - Global CSS settings, fundamental HTML
30
  elements styled and enhanced with extensible classes, and an advanced grid
31
  system.
32
- [Components](http://getbootstrap.com/components/) - Over a dozen reusable
33
  components built to provide iconography, dropdowns, input groups, navigation,
34
  alerts, and much more.
35
- [JavaScript](http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/) - Bring the
36
  [Bootstrap Framework] components to life with over a dozen custom jQuery
37
  plugins. Easily include them all, or one by one.
