You may have Grunt 0.4.3 installed globally but nothing installed locally.

1. Run $ grunt --version to find which version you are on (not a necessary step).

2. Create a package.json file in the root of the folder you mean to have your project on.

   {
       "name" : "MyProject",
       "version" : "0.1.0",
       "author" : "My name",
       "private" : true,
   
       "devDependencies" : {
           "grunt" : "~0.4.2"
       }
   }
   

3. Run $ npm install while at the project's root folder.

Done!

--- UPDATE ---

You could use Bower to install Bootstrap for you. It makes cumbersome installations a breeze. Bootstrap's Getting Started guide advises using it!

$ bower install bootstrap

Or you could always opt to let Grunt manage the installation of Bootstrap and maintain it as a dependency... There are several plugins out there that do the heavy-lifting.
