How to use Bootstrap tabs?

I am trying to understand how to do this: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tabs

I think the documentation is not detailed enough, because I can not understand how it works.

<div class="container">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
        <li class="nav active"><a href="#A" data-toggle="tab">A</a></li>
        <li class="nav"><a href="#B" data-toggle="tab">B</a></li>
        <li class="nav"><a href="#C" data-toggle="tab">C</a></li>
    </ul>

    <!-- Tab panes -->
    <div class="tab-content">
        <div class="tab-pane fade in active" id="A">Content inside tab A</div>
        <div class="tab-pane fade" id="B">Content inside tab B</div>
        <div class="tab-pane fade" id="C">Content inside tab C</div>
    </div>
</div>

This code gives me what I want enter image description here

However I can't switch between tabs.

So the question is: what JQuery or Javascript code should I add to make it work? What is shown in the example does not work :(

(Note: rewrote answer to just be one main answer.)

INCLUDE THE NECESSARY BOOTSTRAP CSS/JS FILES!
Make sure you include all necessary Bootstrap CSS (<link>) and JS (<script>) files! They can be found in the "Getting Started > Introduction" section of Bootstrap's website.

NOTE: Also, if you want your displayed HTML content to change based on what tab is active, the code samples closer to the bottom of Bootstrap's Tabs page (currently underneath the header "Javascript Behavior”) have the necessary attributes and additional HTML tags to make that happen. The code samples on the top and middle of the page are examples of the tabs only.

Code example including necessary Bootstrap CSS/JS files & Bootstrap sample code that includes the changing content panes: (click 'Run code snippet') 

<!-- Bootstrap CSS file (usually within header) -->
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-1BmE4kWBq78iYhFldvKuhfTAU6auU8tT94WrHftjDbrCEXSU1oBoqyl2QvZ6jIW3" crossorigin="anonymous">

<!-- Bootstrap code sample with changing content panes (“tab content”) -->
<!-- tabs -->
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
    <button class="nav-link active" id="home-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#home" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="home" aria-selected="true">Home</button>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
    <button class="nav-link" id="profile-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#profile" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</button>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item" role="presentation">
    <button class="nav-link" id="contact-tab" data-bs-toggle="tab" data-bs-target="#contact" type="button" role="tab" aria-controls="contact" aria-selected="false">Contact</button>
  </li>
</ul>
<!-- tab content -->
<div class="tab-content" id="myTabContent">
  <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="home-tab">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="contact" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="contact-tab">...</div>
</div>

<!-- Bootstrap JS file (usually before </body>) -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-ka7Sk0Gln4gmtz2MlQnikT1wXgYsOg+OMhuP+IlRH9sENBO0LRn5q+8nbTov4+1p" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

If you want to use simple tabs without Dropdown you can use this easy method

<html>
    <head>
        <style type='text/css'>
        body {
        padding: 20px;
        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        line-height: 1.5;
        font-size: 14px;
        }
        .tabs-menu {
        height: 30px;
        float: left;
        clear: both;
        }
        .tabs-menu li {
        height: 30px;
        line-height: 30px;
        float: left;
        margin-right: 10px;
        background-color: #ccc;
        border-top: 1px solid #d4d4d1;
        border-right: 1px solid #d4d4d1;
        border-left: 1px solid #d4d4d1;
        }
        .tabs-menu li.current {
        position: relative;
        background-color: #fff;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
        z-index: 5;
        }
        .tabs-menu li a {
        padding: 10px;
        text-transform: uppercase;
