# Bootstrap [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) is a css framework. The following applies to Bootstrap 5. Bootstrap is very bloated lately. Consider the alternatives too, especially if using Bootstrap for layout only (see [[Building Grid Layouts in HTML]]). ## Installation via NPM To install Bootstrap using NPM run `npm install bootstrap`, you should then include `bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css`. Some js is also required if you use JavaScript components. See official documentation for more. ## Layout - To place an object in the middle of the view port (centered both horizontally and vertically), add this class to it: `position-fixed top-50 start-50 translate-middle`.
