Installation

Installing Dash Bootstrap Components is straightforward! You can choose to do so via PyPI or Anaconda, depending on your preference.

PyPI

You can install dash-bootstrap-components with pip:

pip install dash-bootstrap-components

Anaconda

Alternatively, if you use Anaconda, you can install the package using conda through the conda-forge channel:

conda install -c conda-forge dash-bootstrap-components

Quick Start

Once you have installed the library, you are ready to start building your Dash app! Here’s what you need to know:

Link a Bootstrap Stylesheet

First, you need to link a Bootstrap v5 compatible stylesheet to style your app. This library doesn’t include CSS files to give you the flexibility to choose a stylesheet that suits your project best.

To link a stylesheet easily, you can utilize the BootstrapCDN with the following Python code:

import dash
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc

app = dash.Dash(external_stylesheets=[dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP])

If you need more information on linking local or external CSS, check out the Dash documentation.

Build the Layout

With the CSS linked, you can start building your app’s layout. Dash Bootstrap Components includes various layout components to help you organize your content, as well as UI components like navbars, cards, and alerts.
