how to implement bootstrap 4 and rails 5

Question

I am new to ruby and I am trying to include bootstrap 4.0.0.alpha4 into rails 5.0.0. I have installed the gems bootstrap,bootstrap-sass, autoprefixer-rails and I have even used @import "bootstrap" in the application.css.sass, but still I am not getting the bootstrap on the page.I have a button on the view where I am trying to implement the bootstrap design. I have even tried it on different projects ut none of them works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The codes are as shown below. Gem file

I did this but still it is not working, I even tried without gems by directly installing the bootrap.css and bootstrap.min.css and included in the application.css.sass but still it does not work. — M.Shaikh
According to rubyplus.com/articles/… sprockets should bot be used in bootstrap 4 or else it will give the error File to import not found or unreadable — M.Shaikh

@M.Shaikh please post your application.css and your view file — BigRon

Great link and here is my config:

Gemfile:

gem 'compass-rails', '2.0.4'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.1.1.1'
gem 'autoprefixer-rails', '6.3.7'
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 5.0.1'

config/initializers/assets.rb

Rails.application.config.assets.version = '1.0'
Rails.application.config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join('app', 'assets', 'fonts')

And on my sass files tree:

app/assets/stylesheets
|
|--components
|    |
|    |--variables, 
|    |--mixins and another css/sass files
|
|--bootstrap.sass
|--application.sass

application.sass:

@import 'bootstrap'
@import 'components/*'

bootstrap.sass:

// Core variables and mixins
@import 'bootstrap/variables'
@import 'bootstrap/mixins'

// Reset
@import 'bootstrap/normalize'
//@import 'bootstrap/print'

// Core CSS
//@import 'bootstrap/scaffolding'

header:

= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all'
