unable to find require

[kingleroyg]

Description

When I enter the following command
typings install require --ambient --save
or
typings install require --global --save
I keep on getting the following error:

typings ERR! message Unable to find "require" ("npm") in the registry. Did you want to try searching another source? Also, if you want contribute these typings, please help us: https://github.com/typings/registry

I also did a search too see if require exists and yes it does
require dt http://requirejs.org/ 1 2016-03-16T15:55:26.000Z

Versions

Current version 1.0.4

Hi,
The search result reads as:

name    | source | home                  | version | last update
require | dt     | http://requirejs.org/ | 1       | 2016-03-16T15:55:26.000Z

Since v1 you are required to explicitly specify the source for globals by prefixing the name by source~. So you need:

typings install -SG dt~require

[unional]

For --global, you need to explicitly specify the source

[unional]

Or typings install env~require -SG

@demurgos, how did you get only one search result? I got 4.

typings search require
Viewing 4 of 4

@unional
I was just explaining the line provided by @kingleroyg. (I did not perform search myself at the moment)

(Overall, I would recommend env if present)

[kingleroyg]

Thanks @unional I only showed the result I wanted which is "require"
Non of the solutions worked...
I tried typings install -SG dt~require
result:

require
└── (No dependencies)

[unional]

That means it is installed.

[demurgos]

You should now have the definitions installed in typings/globals/require, what is the issue ?

Thanks your right @unional and @demurgos ..... THANKS 👍
