Installation

First of all you should include twitter bootstrap in your app. You can do it manually, or use twitter-bootstrap-rails gem.

To use Less stylesheets, you'll need the less-rails gem, and one of Javascript runtimes supported by CommonJS.

Include these lines in the Gemfile to install the gems from RubyGems.org:

gem "therubyracer"
gem "less-rails" #Sprockets (what Rails 3.1 uses for its asset pipeline) supports LESS
gem "bootstrap_calendar_rails"

Then run bundle install from the command line:

bundle install

Then run the bootstrap generator to add Calendar includes into your assets:

rails generate calendar:install less

Installing the CSS stylesheets

If you don't need to customize the stylesheets using Less, the only gem you need is the bootstrap_calendar_rails gem:

gem "bootstrap_calendar_rails"

After running bundle install, run the generator:

rails generate calendar:install static
