Why do I get "Cannot find name 'NgModule'" despite running "npm i @types/node --global"?

Despite following the advice here -- TypeScript error in Angular2 code: Cannot find name 'module', I'm still getting this error. I'm using Angular 5 and npm 6.9.0. I'm trying to work through this tutorial here -- https://medium.freecodecamp.org/learn-how-to-create-your-first-angular-app-in-20-min-146201d9b5a7 .

I have this at the top of my ./src/app/app.component.ts file

import { Component,trigger,animate,style,transition,keyframes } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule }   from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
             BrowserModule,
             FormsModule      //<----------make sure you have added this.
           ],
})

But when I run my application I get the error

localhost:todo-app davea$ ng serve

ERROR in src/app/app.component.ts(4,2): error TS2552: Cannot find name 'NgModule'. Did you mean 'module'?
src/app/app.component.ts(6,14): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'BrowserModule'.

What else do I need to do to get NgModule recognized?

This error, Cannot find name 'NgModule', is due to not having imported NgModule from @angular/core. Adding that to the first line will solve the issue.
