IN bootstrap 4 you need to add popper js for tooltip  I also don t understand why bootstrap 4 includes external popper js  It means bootstrap makes more complicated instead of easy when upgrading to the latest versions   You can import popper js before bootstrap on angular or a simple html  Angular import would be like this  npm install popper js --save   then go to       angular-cli json and change the order like below     scripts                 node modules jquery dist jquery slim min js               node modules tether dist js tether min js                node modules popper js dist umd popper js                             node modules bootstrap dist js bootstrap min js             you can also use CDN direct call popper js into your any project   https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs popper js 1 12 5 umd popper js https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs popper js 1 12 5 umd popper min js

It turns out that Popper js doesn t provide compiled files on its GitHub repository  Therefore  one has to compile the project on his her own or download compiled files from CDNs  It cannot be automatically imported

The official way to install Popper js is trough npm  Yarn or NuGet   Use either one of the following commands    npm i popper js yarn add popper js PM gt  Install-Package popper js   Everything is described in the library readme   Regarding the  downloads the zip   the zip clearly states that it contains the source code of the library   Edit   Starting from version 1 12 0  Popper js is available as Bower dependency   This installation method is going to be supported only for the 1 x version of Popper js and will be removed in 2 x   You should migrate your dependencies management to a modern system like npm or Yarn  as Bower suggests as well

I ran into the same problem  I downloaded the  popper min js  file from the CDN on the bootstrap website  See here  https   cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs popper js 1 11 0 umd popper min js Easier than compiling the project  Important  You must include popper after jquery but BEFORE bootstrap

You can download and import all of Bootstrap  and Popper  with a single command using Fetch Injection   fetchInject      https   npmcdn com bootstrap 4 0 0-alpha 5 dist js bootstrap min js      https   cdn jsdelivr net popper js 1 0 0-beta 3 popper min js     fetchInject      https   cdn jsdelivr net jquery 3 1 1 jquery slim min js      https   npmcdn com tether 1 2 4 dist js tether min js         Add CSS files if you need those too  Adjust versions and external sources to meet your needs and consider using sub-resource integrity checking if you re not hosting the files on your own domain or don t trust the source

add popper   js   as dependency instead of popper  only   see the difference in bold      yarn add popper js   instead of   yarn add popper   it makes the difference    and include the script according your needs     as html or the library access as a dependency in SPA applications like react or angular
