Using Bower to add the Bootstrap 4 files

In order to use Bootstrap 4 in your project, you first need to add the Bootstrap style sheet and JavaScript files. In this example, you'll use Bower to download the Bootstrap 4 files to your local project:

1. Add a new file called bower.json to the root of your project folder and set its content to the following in order to add Bootstrap 4 as a dependency:

           { 
             "name": "ASP.NET", 
             "private": true, 
             "dependencies": { 
               "bootstrap": "4.0" 
             } 
           } 
   

2. In order to download any Bower dependencies, you'll need to open a new command prompt in your project folder—this can be done from within Visual Studio Code using the keyboard shortcut Shift + Ctrl + C.

3. Enter the following command inside the command prompt and press Enter:

           bower update 
   
   

4. The previous command will download any Bower dependencies specified inside the bower.json file and save it to a bower_components...
