How to install Bootstrap on the computer

There are 2 ways to install Bootstrap, one is to download Bootstrap and save it on your computer, the other is to use a CDN. Using CDN is convenient, you only need to insert the code into Bootstrap file, but the limitation is that when the network is flickering, the operation is a bit uncomfortable.

In this tutorial, I use Sublime Text 3 to illustrate 2 ways to install Bootstrap for you.

1. Use the CDN

MaxCDN provides CDN support for Bootstrap's CSS and JavaScript, you must also include jQuery. All you need to do is copy the following code and paste it into the tag of the html file.

Your html file will look like this:
