unable to load 3rd party library to aurelia cli

I'm trying to install jwt-decode to my aurelia cli application. I've npm installed the library and added it to my aurelia.json file:

"dependencies": [
    ... other deps
    {
        "name": "jwt-decode",
        "path": "../node_modules/jwt-decode/lib",
        "main": "index"
    }
    ... other deps
]

When I run au build or au run everything compiles and I can see the the cli is tracing the jwt-decode package; however, when I try to include it in a file I get an error:

src/stores/auth/service.ts(4,24): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'jwt-decode'.
[22:13:04] gulp-notify: [Error running Gulp] Error: src/stores/auth/service.ts(4,24): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'jwt-decode'.
[22:13:04] TypeScript: 1 semantic error
[22:13:04] TypeScript: emit succeeded (with errors)

I've even tried adding it to the prepend property but it did not work. I'm also using typescript so I don't know if that could be causing an issue.

Your dependencies section in aurelia.json is correct.

This error is related to TypeScript: typing definition (.d.ts file) is missing for 'jwt-decode' package.

You can install it by typings install dt~jwt-decode --global --save

After that, import it as a global module: import * as jwt from 'jwt-decode';
