How to install specific version of bootstrap using Angular CLI?

Answer 1

From the official bootstrap documentation :

You can also install Bootstrap using npm:

npm install bootstrap@3 --save

Answer 2

This is related to NPM, not angular. There are 2 ways:

1. npm install bootstrap@version --save(replace version with the desired version). Using --save is a best pratice. It adds the bootstrap dependencies to package.json
2. Check your package.json and update "bootstrap": "4.0.0" to 3.3.7
