Attempted to compile "google.maps" as an external module, but it looks like a global module.

[bharadwaj509]

The following is the typings.json file

{
"name": "queuing-simulator",
"version": false,
"dependencies": {
"google.maps": "registry:dt/google.maps#3.20.0+20160414124451"
}
}

The above was working fine in windows. But I moved to Ubuntu 16.04. I installed typings globally.
When I am trying to install the dependencies mentioned above, I am getting the following error.

"Attempted to compile "google.maps" as an external module, but it looks like a global module."

Please help me with this....

Because it is a global module. Use globalDependencies, not dependencies.

Hi, Thanks very much... But when I used the same json, typings used to install "browser.d.ts" in typings folder. But right now it is not doing so. Could help me how to do that... (install browser.d.ts)

You've updated to 1.0. Please look at the docs and README. Here's how you could set it up to output browser: https://github.com/typings/typings/blob/master/docs/faq.md#where-do-the-type-definitions-install.

The operating system is irrelevant. You're using two different Typings versions. Update both to 1.0, or downgrade both to 0.8.

Sure thanks very much...
