TS2307: Cannot find module 'angular'

There are many questions on this exact error. Nevertheless, I cannot find one that fixes my problem. I'm probably missing something simple but I don't know what.

In my project I just created the first ts file - initialize.ts:

import angular from "angular";

namespace AngularTypeScriptStarterKit {
    angular
        .module('app', []);

}

Now the problem is that 'angular' is marked with red, saying:

TS2307: Cannot find module 'angular'

I have the declarations file for angular located at /typings/globals/angular/index.d.ts

Any help will be profoundly appreciated.

typings.json:

{
  "globalDependencies": {
    "angular": "registry:dt/angular#1.5.0+20160725073351",
    "jquery": "registry:dt/jquery#1.10.0+20170310222111"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "angular": "registry:dt/angular#1.6.0+20170321201455"
  }
}

Please let me know for any other required information and I'll update my question.

Typings is deprecated.

You need to use DefinitelyTyped.

Just do :

npm install --save-dev @types/angular

index.d.ts reference

If your application is not able to find module you should provide the typescript reference path on the first line of the file itself. Include following line of code : /// reference path="../../typings/index.d.ts" /, at top of Initialize.ts In typescript reference path is required for third party libraries so that typescript compiler can understand the method definitions. More on reference path in following link : https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/triple-slash-directives.html
