Solution

  • This error is caused by missing TypeScript definition files. Please ensure that your angular version is correct. These definitions were removed from being automatically included in a recent beta release. You can install these definitions locally by using typings or tsd.

    Then run the respective commands for the tool to install the definitions that it is complaining about.
