same problem +1

Did you run npm run setup as well?

Usually this should install typings. There was a discussion about removing browser.d.ts in typings, but I did not follow along. However, I just tried running a fresh copy and it worked with running the following commands:

npm run setup
npm run setup-demo
npm start

[stableShip]

get it.
now typings install didnt create browser.d.ts , now create index.d.ts instead of browser.d.ts

---

fix it by:

change package.json build_demo to tsc typings/index.d.ts demo/main.ts demo/app_ui.ts --module commonjs -t es5 --experimentalDecorators --emitDecoratorMetadata

change tsconfig.json files typings/broswer.d.ts to typings/index.d.ts

demo

[Thomas-23]

Thanks in front of two of the answer, i'll try

[danielnieto]

I have the same issue but my index.d.ts file is completely empty! and therefor (I guess) it doesn't work at all

[xenthil]

I am running to the same issue :(

[jbgraug]

Renaming the attribute ambientDependencies to globalDependencies in the typings.json file, solved the issue for me. don't forget to follow @stableShip instructions too.

[AdrienTorris]

Solution :
1) : replace the 'build_demo' value in package.json by this : "tsc typings/index.d.ts demo/main.ts demo/app_ui.ts --module commonjs -t es5 --experimentalDecorators --emitDecoratorMetadata"
2) In the tsconfig.json file, replace typings/broswer.d.ts by typings/index.d.ts
3) In the typings.json file, replace ambientDependencies by globalDependencies
4) Execute this command lines :
npm run setup
npm run setup-demo
npm start

It will work :)

[mehranagh20]

same issue here.
none of the solutions helped.
have someone found a real answer for this ?

[okonon]

this is still an issue for me

[smshahinulislam]

npm install typings --save --global solved the issue for me.

1. Did all of the above, none worked.
2. index.d.ts still empty.
3. npm start hopelessly fails.
