We're building a Parcel project with Bootstrap from scratch, so there are some prerequisites and up front steps before we can really get started. This guide requires you to have Node.js installed and some familiarity with the terminal.

<br>

1. **Create a project folder and setup npm.** We'll create the `my-project` folder and initialize npm with the `-y` argument to avoid it asking us all the interactive questions.

```sh
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
npm init -y
```

2. **Install Parcel.** Next we need to install our Parcel development dependencies:

Now that we have all the necessary dependencies installed and setup, we can get to work creating the project files and importing Bootstrap.

## Project structure

We've already created the `my-project` folder and initialized npm. Now we'll also create our `src` folder, stylesheet, and JavaScript file to round out the project structure.

```sh

When you're done, your complete project should look like this:

2. **Add the Parcel npm scripts.** Open the `package.json` and add the following `start` script to the `scripts` object. We'll use this script to start our Parcel development server and render the HTML file we created after it's compiled into the `dist` directory.
At this point, everything is in the right place, but Parcel needs an HTML page and npm script to start our server.

```json
{
// ...
"scripts": {
"start": "parcel serve src/index.html --public-url / --dist-dir dist",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
// ...
}
```
## Configure Parcel

3. **Fill in the `src/index.html` file.** Parcel needs a page to render, so we use our `index.html` page to setup some basic HTML, including our CSS and JavaScript files.
With dependencies installed and our project folder ready for us to start coding, we can now configure Parcel and run our project locally. Parcel itself requires no configuration file by design, but we do need an npm script and an HTML file to start our server.

Parcel can automatically detect we're using Sass and install the [Sass Parcel plugin](https://parceljs.org/languages/sass/) to support it. However, if you wish, you can also manually run `npm i --save-dev @parcel/transformer-sass`.

At this point, everything is in the right place, but we don't have any styles or JavaScript from Bootstrap yet.
In the next and final section to this guide, we'll import all of Bootstrap's CSS and JavaScript.
