Javascript not working when import bootstrap

Question

I am trying to implement this search bar into my webpage: https://github.com/jeffersonRibeiro/jquery-simpleSelect but it does not seem to work when I import bootstrap.

I tried to see if I was importing things in incorrectly, but nothing seems to work. The only time the search bar would actually work is if I comment out the bootstrap import

The imports I am using are just from: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/getting-started/introduction/. Just linking the Bootstrap stylesheet appears to not make it work and I am not sure why. Any ideas?

Here is the html file:

  $(document).ready(function(){
                    $('#segment').simpleSelect();
            });

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

        <link rel="stylesheet" href="simpleSelect.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <form>
            <select id="segment" name="segmentation">   
                <option data-defaultSelected>Select</option>
                <option>JAVASCRIPT</option>
                <option>PHP</option>
                <option>BRAZIL</option>
                <option>CANADA</option>
                <option>MEAN</option>
            </select>
    
            <!-- <input type="submit"/> -->
        </form>

Javascript: https://github.com/jeffersonRibeiro/jquery-simpleSelect/blob/master/src/js/simpleSelect.js

CSS: https://github.com/jeffersonRibeiro/jquery-simpleSelect/blob/master/src/css/simpleSelect.css

The problem occurs when I uncomment the link to the bootstrap stylesheet

./ in URLs means current directory.

So change <script src="./src/js/simpleSelect.js"></script> to access the correct directory.

And to run jQuery functions they need to be wrapped in either function or document.ready

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
        $('#segment').simpleSelect();
});
</script>
