Are "popper" and "popper.js" two different packages in npm?

Question

I am following a tutorial that uses this command to install popper: npm install popper --save. But when I tried it got this error message: fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x13A1410/0x13D1410

So I searched to find the github page of this library and found this page: https://github.com/FezVrasta/popper.js but I saw it suggests this command to install it: npm install popper.js --save and it's different from my tutorial. Now I like to know are these to libraries different? What is the github page of the poppe not popper.js if they are different?

I also must mention that I don't say python popper library. I want the javascript version that used by bootstrap4.
