Simple task like adding a new module

[jvelezc]

npm install angular --save-dev
then i just try to add
import angular from 'angular'

I get cannot find module 'angular'

What is the procedure to register angular or any other module so that it is discoverable?

This sounds more like an Angular question, so you might want to follow up with them. But my guess is that, if you're using Angular 1 which doesn't include TypeScript support by default (which Angular 2 does), then you'll need to get hold of some suitable .d.ts files for the Angular 1 libraries.

This looks like a reasonable guide: https://coderwall.com/p/qsrzyq/getting-started-with-typescript-angular

You are right I have to add typings d.ts files and then Visual Studio stopped complaining. I guess Angular2 being better tricked me.
