If you're using the Angular CLI you can include .js files from your node_modules in your .angular-cli.json.

Right under the the styles array and above the environmentSource you should see the scripts array. I've included a little bit (I've truncated it) of the JSON as reference for you.

{
  "apps": [
    {
      "root": "src",
      "outDir": "dist",
      "assets": [
        "assets",
        "favicon.ico"
      ],
      "index": "index.html",
      "main": "main.ts",
      "styles": [
        "styles.scss"
      ],
      "scripts": [
        "../node_modules/hammerjs/hammer.min.js"
      ],
      "environmentSource": "environments/environment.ts",
      "environments": {
        "dev": "environments/environment.ts",
        "prod": "environments/environment.prod.ts"
      }
    }
  ]
}
