How to include Bootstraps JS dependencies

I want to include Bootstrap 4 in my Angular 7 app. I did npm install bootstrap --save and the css styling works fine, but when I want to use the button for the collapsing navbar from bootstrap, the button doesn't react. I think that is because Bootstrap depends in this case on jquery and popper.js. I tried to manually include them by npm install jquery --save and npm install popper.js --save. But even after that I can't find those modules in the node_modules folder and don't know how to include those dependencies.

Help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

This works

CHECK WORKING STACKBLITZ

Do npm install:~ npm i bootstrap jquery --save

OPTION 1

Add the following in angular.json:~

    "styles": [
      "src/styles.css",
      "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
    ],
    "scripts": [
      "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
      "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
    ],

OPTION 2

Add the following link and scripts in your index.html

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
