CodeIgniter is simplistic a nice PHP framework that follows the MVC guidelines. It's lightweight, simplistic and a very easy framework to use. Twitter Bootstrap is pre-made CSS framework that has styled elements ready to use. The two are not combined, hence the name, CodeIgniter Bootstrap.

Install

Derived from CodeIgniter, read CodeIgniter Installation for how to install using this zipball instead. If you're not familiar with CodeIgniter, I suggest reading the CodeIgniter Tutorial on how to get started and read the wiki for more information.
