I don't know if lessc command is still working now in v2.3.1, but you should compile the bootstrap.less file. That file will compile all the files included in Bootstrap (except the responsive less files). The content from this file is:

@import "variables"
@import "scaffolding"
...
@import "hero-unit.less";

So something like:

lessc ./bootstrap.less > bootstrap.css

should work, but I can't assure you anything since the last version that I tested was 2.1.

Anyway, there is some instructions for compiling their code with a makefile or simply using a less.js to avoid compiling. You can see the instructions in the documentation from their official page and in the README of the github project.
