how do i install a listed typings?

I'm using a library with Typescript, and getting a compiler error.

public/components/chatlogs.ts(25,19): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Handsontable'.

it seems there is a typings for it:

$ typings search handsontable
Viewing 2 of 2

NAME                SOURCE HOMEPAGE                  DESCRIPTION UPDATED

jquery-handsontable dt     http://handsontable.com               2016-03-29T17:54:46.000Z

but then i cant install that?

$ typings install handsontable

Is there some way to use a different "source" than npm?

typings help install

typings@0.7.12 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/typings

How do I install a typings that is listed with a different homepage?

Or maybe they exist for tsd but not typings?

Solution

I believe global has replaced ambient as a keyword, and source~packagename is the syntax, for example:

typings install dt~node --global

still unclear what the env or dt typings repo distinctions are. surely dt is the default place that is searched, so why is there a need to specify it?
