Correct Way to Install a Bootstrap Theme?

[VikR0001]

I'm installing Bootstrap and am looking into using a Material Design-inspired theme with it.

Is there a link that describes how to install a Bootstrap theme in a way that is compatible with Mantra?

Thanks in advance to all for any info.

If you use React, you can check out http://www.material-ui.com/#/. A bunch of react components in material design. Fairly easy to install with NPM.

@flexlee, I have found that material-ui is very easy to install for Mantra. At the moment I'm using Bootstrap on the advice of Meteor + React author Ken Rogers. Ken notes that there is huge Bootstrap community one can go to with questions, and his book's examples use Bootstrap.

At the same time, I'm seriously considering moving to Materials-UI after implementing and building the examples in the book.

You could just add the css files to wherever your styles are(as Meteor will compile them), you could use the styles for the theme and bootstrap, you might have difficulty using theme's custom jQuery/JavaScript, but Bootstraps native JavaScript can be installed with NPM.

There are very few themes that create React Components, but you could always take the blueprint HTML coded in the theme's examples and easily make your own components.
