Starting from Scratch: Complete Process of Bootstrap 5 Environment Setup
Bootstrap 5 is a popular front-end framework that provides predefined CSS styles and JS components, enabling fast construction of beautiful and responsive web pages and improving development efficiency. Two methods are recommended for environment setup: Beginners are advised to use CDN inclusion. The steps are: create an HTML file, include Bootstrap 5 CSS in the `<head>`, then include Popper.js and Bootstrap JS in sequence (or directly use `bootstrap.bundle.min.js` which includes Popper). For local development, download the package from the official website, extract it, and then include the local CSS and JS files. To verify the environment: Test a page containing buttons (e.g., `btn btn-primary`) and the grid system (`container`, `row`, `col`). The two columns will automatically merge on small screens. Common issues: Components not working (check JS inclusion order or Popper dependency), path errors (ensure correct local file paths), and responsive design failure (ensure Bootstrap container/grid classes are used). The core is correctly including Bootstrap 5's CSS and JS files. After that, you can experiment with components like buttons and navigation bars. For issues, refer to the official documentation.
