Can not find 'EJS' Typescript and Express

I'm trying to use EJS with typescript, I can use res.send 

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'src/views/'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');

        app.get('/index', function (req, res, next) {
        res.send('hello')  
    });

But, when I try to use render method I get Error: Cannot find module 'ejs'. I'm sure that I installed ejs as globally and locally. What can cause that?

EJS is not made to work with TypeScript natively.

Please check here how to properly set that up to be integrated in Express:
