Angular-cli: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'PouchDB'

OS?

Linux (Amazon Linux AMI)

Versions.

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.22-1
node: 6.6.0
os: linux x64

Repro steps.

I installed recently PouchDB:

npm i pouchdb --save
npm i @types/pouchdb --save-dev

I added this in typings.d.ts:

declare module 'PouchDB';

And now I import PouchDB in my service:

import * as PouchDB from 'PouchDB';

Well, all is okey in my laptop (MacOS Sierra); ng serve, ng build without problems and PouchDB is working well.

But... Not the same thing in my server (Amazon Linux AMI)... 😐

I'm getting the next error trying to execute ng build:

ERROR in ./src/app/pictures.service.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'PouchDB' in '/home/aral/project/src/app'
 @ ./src/app/pictures.service.ts 11:0-35
 @ ./src/app/app.module.ts
 @ ./src/app/index.ts
 @ ./src/main.ts
 @ multi main

I have the same angular-cli version and node version that in my laptop... 😧

And I compared doing tree command in my laptop and my server and both have the same files. (Except some sub-dependency in node_modules).

Thank you!

Checking in package.json file whether the pounchbd dependency is included or not, if it is not included, then add this dependency "pouchdb": "^7.2.2" and run npm install

I was using Mac in my laptop and this is the reason why in my laptop don't have this issue: Because the Mac main filesystem is case insensitive. Linux is not so forgiving. So importing from PouchDB the system is looking for a node_modules names PouchDB, but it's really named pouchdb (lowercase).
