I am following the steps from the getting started page https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/GETTING_STARTED.md
So far I have installed material with the following
npm install --save @angular/material
Now I am attempting to import the MaterialModule into my app component
import { MaterialModule } from '@angular/material';
Which causes webpack to throw a ton of errors like
ERROR in [default] C:/mypathSource/Repos/dir/Web.Angular/node_modules/@angular/material/menu/menu-item.d.ts:14:27
';' expected.
ERROR in [default] C:/mypathSource/Repos/dir/Web.Angular/node_modules/@angular/material/menu/menu-item.d.ts:14:29

what am I doing wrong?
I ended up updating all the versions of my node modules by coping the package.json from the angular/webpack starter kit and the errors went away.
