How to install Twitter Bootstrap to my rails
Solution 1
I believe you need to add twitter bootstrap to your gemfile & then run bundle install. The purpose of Gemfile is it serves as reference to Rails on what dependencies/gems the app needs. So unless you specify it in gemfile, though its installed, your app cannot use it.
Solution 2
Whenever you have questions about installing a gem like this, it's page on Github is a good place to start.
https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails#installing-gem
Put it in your gemfile.
bundle install.
Then continue reading the instructions there. ;)
Solution 3
You need to require it in your Gemfile and than ran bundle install

I just ran
gem install twitter-bootstrap-railsand it installed a number of files:
11 gems installed Installing ri documentation for activesupport-3.2.5... Installing ri documentation for activemodel-3.2.5... Installing ri documentation for rack-1.4.1...

Installing RDoc documentation for commonjs-0.2.6... Installing RDoc documentation for less-2.2.1... Installing RDoc documentation for less-rails-2.2.3... Installing RDoc documentation for twitter-bootstrap-rails-2.0.8...Should I run bundle update? Or do I just need to add the twitter-bootstrap-rails-2.0.8 to my gemfile?
What is the right way to make it be recognized by my "require" and "import" statements?
I also added this line to my application.css:
*= require twitter/bootstrapThanks!
