This is the most basic form of BootMetro: compiled files for quick drop-in usage in nearly any web project. We provide compiled CSS and JS (bootmetro-*.*), as well as compiled and minified CSS and JS (bootmetro.min.*). The image files are compressed using ImageOptim, a Mac app for compressing PNGs.

Please note that all JavaScript plugins require jQuery to be included.

Building from source

Prepare your environment

  • Install Node.js and NPM (should come with)
  • Install global dev dependencies (Windows users should run it as administrator): npm install -g grunt-cli karma
  • Instal local dev dependencies: npm install while current directory is bootmetro repo

Build

To build the whole project run grunt

Web server

Running the command node ./server/server.js will start a little local web server that respond on the address localhost:8080; this will enable you to view the documentation and the demo pages locally.
