Unable to install angular quick start due to typings folder

JavaScript
1

Hello,

I’m trying to install the Angular 2 packages to do the quick start tutorial but I can’t seem to create the packages to start the project . I believe it has something to do creating the typings folder.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated:

npm v3.5.2

Hey @robin01, could you point us in the direction of the tutorial you’re following?

Is there a reason that things cannot install? The cli shows more useful info than strangely enough the log file.

If it timed out for example, it may be due to proxy settings for which some good advice is given at https://github.com/typings/typings/issues/581

Hi Fretburner,

the tutorial is right from Angular.io site, I’m going through there quick start tutorial:
https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html

I even tried sudo npm run typings install with no success.

I was able to create the project 2 weeks ago and decided to do the project over again to get a bit more understanding but for some reason this time i cant seem to create the project.

Hi Paul_Wilkins,

Not sure if it a time out issue but i could be wrong. 2 weeks ago i was able to create the project for the quick start tutorial on angular.io tutorial but for some reason I can’t seem to create the files this time round. Far as I can tell, most of the folders and files were created except for typings for example node_module module.

You can issue the command npm install over again and it will attempt to fill in any missing parts.

Maybe it’s worth trying with Angular 2 CLI

I’ve used it and it currently supports Angular 2 RC4. If you google then you can find a way to create RC5.
