Changing version of bootstrap from 4 to 3

In the latest installation of Laravel it comes with Boostrap 4. But I do not want to use Bootstrap 4. In my Laravel project I changed the package.json as follows:

"devDependencies": {
        "axios": "^0.18",
        "bootstrap-sass": "^3.3.7",
        "popper.js": "^1.12",
        "cross-env": "^5.1",
        "jquery": "^3.2",
        "laravel-mix": "^2.0",
        "lodash": "^4.17.4",
        "vue": "^2.5.7"
}

And then I run "npm install". No when I run "npm run dev", i get lots of error like:

> @ development C:\LarProjects\larOne
> cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js

I thought that this may be wrong way that i am doing. I actually think that we should have a way to select the version of bootstrap while creating laravel project with composer.
