ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bootstrap5'

[sunnyCallum]

While trying to incorporate Bootstrap into my Django project, I receive this error.

  File "/Users/Callum/DevTools/anaconda3/envs/django_smartcare/lib/python3.9/importlib/__init__.py", line 127, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1030, in _gcd_import
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1007, in _find_and_load
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 984, in _find_and_load_unlocked
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bootstrap5'

I have followed the steps to install Bootstrap into a Django project using the official documentation. Note that I using a Conda virtual environment for development.

These are the steps I took:

1. Installed Bootstrap5 using pip install django-bootstrap-v5.

(django_smartcare) Callum@Callums-MacBook-Air django-smartcare-app % pip install django-bootstrap-v5

Successfully installed django-bootstrap-v5-1.0.11

2. Included bootstrap5 in INSTALLED_APPS.

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'bootstrap5',
]

3. Added django-bootstrap-v5 to requirements.txt

# requirements.txt

Django
psycopg2-binary
django-bootstrap-v5

4. Verified it was installed using pip freeze.

# Terminal output of pip freeze

Deprecated==1.2.14
dirtyjson==1.0.8
distro==1.9.0
Django==4.2.10
django-bootstrap-v5==1.0.11
EasyProcess==1.1

5. Ran python manage.py runserver which produced the error shown at the top of the thread.

If anyone could provide some insight into this I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey @sunnyCallum
It seems to be a really specific issue from the https://github.com/zelenij/django-bootstrap-v5/ projects which is not maintained by the Bootstrap core team. I'd suggest contacting this repo directly by creating a discussion over there or using any support channel they have in place (their contributing guidelines probably mention how to reach them).

Thank you for your reply! I've opted to use the CDN instead as it's less of a headache to battle with.
