Can someone please help me if they have faced this issue before? Thanks for the help.

Solution

  • Bootstrap v4 will no longer be installable via Bower (related GitHub pull request); instead, install it with Yarn or NPM.

    # With NPM
$ npm install --save bootstrap@v4.0.0-beta.2

# With Yarn
$ yarn add bootstrap@v4.0.0-beta.2
