Bootstrap modal not showing up on click

when I try to load a modal in Bootstrap, it shows up when I refresh the page but doesn't show up when I click on the button. I'd like my modal to pop up only when the user clicks on the button.

My html file is set up as follows:

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>my title here</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    <script src="/static/js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/js/popper.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/Highcharts-5.0.14/code/highcharts.js"></script>
    <script src="/static/Highcharts-5.0.14/code/modules/exporting.js"></script>
    <!-- Our Custom CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/style_charts_black.css">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
</head>

I've copied this code from the Bootstrap tutorial website:

<!-- Button trigger modal -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" style="float:right; margin-right:100px">
Launch demo modal
</button>

<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
  <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h5 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h5>
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
      ...
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<script>$('#myModal').modal('show')</script>

I do not get any jquery errors in the javascript console. I've also tried to change the last line above to .modal('toggle') but it didn't help.

Just remove the data toggle in the html tag and write the 

$('#myModal').modal('show')
or
$('#myModal').modal('toggle')

Your code works fine, if you just want the modal to be activated when you click the button, you do not need the script

$('#myModal').modal('show') 

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

Your code is fine, you need to include the js files in the <body> tag, not the head.

From their documentation:

Add our JavaScript plugins, jQuery, and Tether near the end of your pages, right before the closing body tag.

Here is the link where I found that info:

https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/getting-started/introduction/

And a codepen of the js files included in the body and your code working correctly:
