WebStorm Bootstrap Project - Newb question.
OK, with WebStorm 7 I create a new Bootstrap 3.0 project. WebStorm creates the project and has all sorts of nice Html, CSS, and js files in various folders from Bootstrap just like it should. Now I want to run it. I want to see the default Bootstrap Index.html. Yet when I Browse to it, or Debug Index.html the localhost web server is not processing the file and serving it properly - no css or js files are loaded. I see the index file is dependent on layout.html but I don't recognize the server code language.
What do I need to configure/install to actually run the project?
Thank you,
Greg

The stuff in the "dist" folder is all you really need to use bootstrap. The rest of those files are the raw source for the bootstrap project -- you use grunt.js to build them into what is in "dist".
Does anyone know why they download the project source instead of a dist tarball when a user creates a new project? --- It's confusing.
For the record if you want to build what they download you need node.js (http://nodejs.org/) and ruby (https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) installed.
Then you install grunt:
> npm install -g grunt-cli
You will also need jekyll:
> gem install jekyll
Then you can build the project...
> cd (project-dir)
> grunt
Hope this helps..
Very much so. Thanks for the complete description.
