Having trouble installing Bootstrap on Rails

by

I'm following [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq-HNuxFPdE) tutorial but for some reason I can't get the styling to work. Instead of a bootstrap template this is what I'm left [with](http://imgur.com/HDLnqZ6).

After some googleing I still can't find an answer. I know the navbar I used had a plugin dependency. Could this be a part of the problem?

Thanks in adavance

  1. This could be happening for two reasons:

    1) your markup code doesn’t match what bootstrap wants

    2) your bootstrap stylesheets aren’t being included

    Considering your font appears to be the default Times New Roman, I’m gonna say that you’re not including bootstrap.

    Your app/assets/application.css should have the following

    /* …
    *= require_self
    *= require_tree .
    */

    This will require all other stylesheets in app/assets/stylesheets.

    If you post the code on Github then I can tell you for sure.

    Also, consider not using bootstrap. If you plan on being a fullstack web dev you should learn how to write custom css.
