metro ui css in asp.net 5 mvc 6

I would like to use the metro ui css styling under ASP.NET 5 and MVC 6 in VS2015. I have included it via Nuget in my project but am unsure what references I need to set up and where in order to access the libraries. I have a feeling it should be included in the _Layout.cshtml file but do not know how to refer to it. There are entries in there for Bootstrap already but these are stored in folders in the Project:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/lib/bootstrap-touch-carousel/dist/css/bootstrap-touch-carousel.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="~/css/site.css" />

Thanks

Since ASP.NET 5 works differently with their project structure and files it is generally advised, when actually adding 'content' type packages like this, to look on Bower for it.

Bower is very comparable to Nuget, only it deals with CSS and Javascript libraries, for example jQuery and Bootstrap will be found there.

To get your package into your project, either manually open the bower.json in your Visual Studio (it will automatically fetch changes) and specify your package, or if you want a more streamlined approach like the NuGet Package Manager, right click on your project, select Manage Bower Packages... and search for metro-ui-css. This will load the exact same stuff as the Nuget package, only via Bower.
