Uncaught Error: Cannot find module '@angular/http'

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module '@angular/http'

When installing @angular/material and importing it the following error is thrown:

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module '@angular/http'

Weird because @angular/http is registered as one of the dependencies, but I double checked the issue just to make sure and still had the same result.

I think having it under dependencies in package.json doesn't actually install it for you, you still have to install it yourself. And it's not necessarily a bug either, it's basically telling you that you forgot to install it, but I guess it should be stated in GETTING_STARTED(that it's required for the icon module). I guess they assumed you wouldn't use angular2 without Http.

why would you need HTTP for icon?

the MdIconRegistry requires it

@Urigo because you are able to load icon-fonts from URIs and you use MdIconRegistry to register them.

OK so it just seems like a peerDependency field is needed

Fixed in #1579, will be a part of the next release.
