Assuming you are done SSR with angular universal. Put following code in your server.ts after imports. Build and run.

const domino = require("domino");
const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const templateA = fs
  .readFileSync(path.join("dist/browser", "index.html"))
  .toString();
const win = domino.createWindow(templateA);
win.Object = Object;
win.Math = Math;

global["window"] = win;
global["document"] = win.document;
global["branch"] = null;
global["object"] = win.object;
global['HTMLElement'] = win.HTMLElement;
global['navigator'] = win.navigator;
global['localStorage'] = localStorage;
