I installed bootstrap using composer and added the files to the extensions folder in a folder called Bootsrap and did this require_once "$IP/extensions/Bootstrap/Bootstrap.php"; for localsettings. the roblem is it wont show as an installed extension.

You do not have to manually add any files, nor do you have to insert anything into LocalSettings.php. See Extension:Bootstrap#Installation
ok. I removed the folder and the require once. I installed the files created using the command line to the extension folder in mediawiki, but it still wont show up.
I'll see if I can reproduce this. You are on MW 1.25?
1.24.0
adding a require once for the bootstrap extesion in localsettings.php got it to show in the version page as installed.
using the command line to the extension folder in mediawiki
The command has to be run from the MediaWiki installation directory.
