Can't build my web application when integrating bootstrap template

I'm totally new to Node.js meteor and all development outside of visual studio.
When I go in the console and add bootstrap like this : 

npm install twitter-bootstrap

It gets installed and adds all the bootstrap files in my solution but when I run my application with meteor it says 

Process finished with exit code 254

No more information. No errors. If I delete all the bootstrap files, it builds and run just fine. Any idea what might be causing this?

I've tried looking for the exit code meaning but I can't find it for my IDE and I'm a bit clueless as for why simply adding those packages without even referencing them anywhere in the project might cause my application not to run at all.

You can use atmosphere meteor packages called mizzao:bootstrap-3 by running the commend

meteor add mizzoa:bootstrap-3

Alternatively if you want to use npm packages you must add meteorhacks:npm packages.

meteor add meteorhacks:npm npm install twitter-bootstrap

You can specify all the required npm packages inside a packages.json file.

{      
 "gm":"1.16.0",
 "twitter":"0.2.12",
 "twitter-bootstrap":"2.1.1",
}

You can't add npm packages in your project folder like that. It will create a node_modules sub-directory that meteor will treat like any other project folder, i.e., it will interpret all the files in it. That's not what you want. Either do the npm install in a super-directory, or, better yet, use the meteor meteorhacks:npm package (https://atmospherejs.com/meteorhacks/npm):

meteor add meteorhacks:npm

and then add the npm dependency to your packages.json file.

{ "twitter-bootstrap": "2.1.1" }

But the real question is: why do you need this package? bootstrap3 is already part of the standard meteor packages, i.e., you already have full access to bootstrap, incl. javascript.
