I'm a backend developer and I'm just playing around with Angular4. So I did this installation tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdlbFEsAGXo.

Given this, how can I add bootstrap to the app so I could use the class "container-fluid" or "col-md-6" and stuff like that?

Answer

npm install --save bootstrap

afterwards, inside angular-cli.json (inside the project's root folder), find styles and add the bootstrap css file like this:

"styles": [
   "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
   "styles.css"
],

UPDATE:
in angular 6+ angular-cli.json was changed to angular.json.
