As per the docs, you need to initialize the Carousel plugin via JavaScript. The carousel example on the official Bootstrap documentation page is initialized in the application.js file on lines 67-68:

// carousel demo
$('#myCarousel').carousel()

which gives it the default settings.

If you want to specify the cycle interval, you can set the interval property in milliseconds:

$('.carousel').carousel({
  interval: 2000
})
