<h1 id="grunt" class="page-header">Compiling CSS and JavaScript</h1>
<p class="lead">Bootstrap uses <a href="http://gruntjs.com">Grunt</a> for its build system, with convenient methods for working with the framework. It's how we compile our code, run tests, and more.</p>
<h2 id="grunt-installing">Installing Grunt</h2>
<p>To install Grunt, you must <strong>first <a href="http://nodejs.org/download/">download and install node.js</a></strong> (which includes npm). npm stands for <a href="http://npmjs.org/">node packaged modules</a> and is a way to manage development dependencies through node.js.</p>
Then, from the command line:
<ol>
<li>Install <code>grunt-cli</code> globally with <code>npm install -g grunt-cli</code>.</li>
<li>Navigate to the root <code>/bootstrap/</code> directory, then run <code>npm install</code>. npm will look at the <a href="https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/package.json"><code>package.json</code></a> file and automatically install the necessary local dependencies listed there.</li>
</ol>
<p>When completed, you'll be able to run the various Grunt commands provided from the command line.</p>
<h2 id="grunt-commands">Available Grunt commands</h2>
<h3><code>grunt dist</code> (Just compile CSS and JavaScript)</h3>
<p>Regenerates the <code>/dist/</code> directory with compiled and minified CSS and JavaScript files. As a Bootstrap user, this is normally the command you want.</p>
<h3><code>grunt watch</code> (Watch)</h3>
<p>Watches the Less source files and automatically recompiles them to CSS whenever you save a change.</p>
<h3><code>grunt test</code> (Run tests)</h3>
<p>Runs <a href="http://jshint.com">JSHint</a> and runs the <a href="http://qunitjs.com">QUnit</a> tests headlessly in <a href="http://phantomjs.org">PhantomJS</a>.</p>
<h3><code>grunt</code> (Build absolutely everything and run tests)</h3>
<p>Compiles and minifies CSS and JavaScript, builds the documentation website, runs the HTML5 validator against the docs, regenerates the Customizer assets, and more. Usually only necessary if you're hacking on Bootstrap itself.</p>
<h2 id="grunt-troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2>
<p>Should you encounter problems with installing dependencies or running Grunt commands, first delete the <code>/node_modules/</code> directory generated by npm. Then, rerun <code>npm install</code>.</p>
