Kalman's answer puts jQuery within the scope of the scripts in the app/javascript directory but not with any in-line javascript that you may have on your webpages.

If you want to access jQuery from the scope of the webpage, you could can put jQuery under the public directory then modify app/views/layouts/application.html.erb to link to it like this:

  
    
    <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
    <%= csp_meta_tag %>

    <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>


    <%= javascript_pack_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
    
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag "/jquery-ui-1.12.1.custom/jquery-ui.min.css" %>
    


  

  
    <%= yield %>
