So, let's see how to install bootstrap 4/5 in react js and how to add bootstrap in react js.

In this article, we will see two ways to install bootstrap in react application.

Now, we will install bootstrap 4 using the npm command. So, run the following command.

npm install --save bootstrap

src/index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
   
ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
serviceWorker.unregister();

Now, you can use a bootstrap class like the below code example.

src/App.js

import React from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
    
function App() {
  return (
    <div class="container">
        <h1>How To Install Bootstrap In React JS - Websolutionstuff</h1>
   
        <button class="btn btn-success">Success Button!</button>
        <button class="btn btn-primary">Primary Button!</button>
        <button class="btn btn-danger">Danger Button!</button>
   
        <div class="alert alert-success">
          <p>This is success alert.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="alert alert-primary">
          <p>This is primary alert.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="alert alert-danger">
          <p>This is danger alert.</p>
        </div>
    </div>
  );
}
  
export default App;

Now, we will install bootstrap using the npm react-bootstrap command.

npm install react-bootstrap bootstrap

After successfully installing bootstrap, we need to import bootstrap CSS in the src/index.js file.

import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';

src/index.js

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import * as serviceWorker from './serviceWorker';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';
   
ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
serviceWorker.unregister();

src/App.js

import React from 'react';
import logo from './logo.svg';
import './App.css';
import { Button, Alert } from 'react-bootstrap';
  
function App() {
  return (
    <div className="container">
  
        <Button variant="success">Success</Button>
        <Button variant="primary">Primary</Button>
        <Button variant="danger">Danger</Button>
   
        <Alert key="1" variant="success">
           This is a success message!
        </Alert>
    </div>
  );
}
  
export default App;
